The Telugu Desam Party's attempt to rake up a controversy over the birthday celebrations of Swami Swaroopananda. The TDP is criticising the circular issued by the AP Government and the letter written to mark the occasion.
Interestingly, the practice of issuing circulars on the birthdays of prominent religious and spiritual personalities has begun with the Telugu Desam. The party had issued such circulars several times in the past. In fact, it had issued such circulars to mark the birthday of Swami Swaroopananda himself. YSRCP leader and MLC Malladi Vishnu pointed out that a similar circular was issued during the TDP regime in 2016. He said that the TDP was behaving differently when in power and when out of power.
He said the YSRCP government was treating all religions equally. He said the TDP was known only for photo ops and theatrics. While in power, the TDP leades went into the temples with shoes on . Soon after this attack, the pics of TDP leaders taking the blessings of the Vizag seer went viral on the social media.
