BJP targets Andhra Pradesh government

The BJP has attacked the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led Andhra Pradesh government for the delay in action on the matter. “The idol of Lord Shiva’s beloved Nandi was brutally vandalized in Kanaparthi village of Prakasam district. What is Jagan Mohan Reddy doing?” BJP national secretary Sunil Deodhar said. “No action, no arrest, no investigation. More than 200 such incidents have happened in this state but no criminal has been caught. Jagan Mohan Reddy is an anti-Hindu chief minister. Don’t test the anger of Hindus in Andhra Pradesh,” he added. Read all the Latest News , Trending News ,  Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.
