BJP stages stir against vandalism of Nandi idol in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh

The Hindu  

Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party staged a demonstration in front of the Prakasam Bhavan here on Wednesday in protest against desecration of a 10th century idol of Nandikeswara at the Siva temple at Kanaparthi village, near N.G. Leading the protest, BJP district president S. Srinivasulu demanded that the police nab miscreants and take stern action against them and book cases under the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act. ‘CCTVs dysfunctional’ BJP State Secretary Meena Kumari alleged that attack on Hindu temples was on the rise during the YSR Congress Party regime, adding that the government had reportedly diverted earnings of places of worship for other purposes. Security should be beefed up at the onsite museum of the Andhra Pradesh Archaeology and Museums Department as it had artefacts throwing light on Andhra people’s culture for centuries, they said. A delegation of party leaders later submitted a memorandum to District Collector A.S. Dinesh Kumar who promised to take swift action.
