Utsav Samithi warns against stopping idols from reaching Hussainsagar
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The TRS government was on Monday put on notice by the BJP, this time on the issue of Ganesh idol immersion in the city, with BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar accusing the state government and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao of adopting an anti-Hindu stance. Sanjay said that if there were any obstructions to the festivities or while taking the idols to Hussainsagar for immersion, “we will take up the nimajjanam fight to Pragati Bhavan with all idols.” Sanjay’s warning came in the wake of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti, the umbrella organisation that oversees the festivities here, complaining on Monday morning that the city police and government departments were not allowing pandal organisers to immerse idols in Hussainsagar. BGUS general secretary Bhagvanth Rao, earlier in the day, told the pandal organisers, “If the police stop you from reaching Hussainsagar, halt the processions right there on the road, and start offering prayers. There is still time till September 9.” Sanjay, who expressed strong support to BGUS during a press meet, said the government is not making any arrangements for immersion at Hussainsagar.
