Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday alleged that attacks on temples and Hindu youth has become ‘routine’ in Telangana after the Congress government assumed office.

Speaking to reporters after visiting a temple on the city outskirts where Navagraha idols were found damaged three days ago, he accused the government of neglecting Hindus and their sentiments.

“The (Congress) government feels that it will get more votes of a section of society if it ignores attacks on Hindu temples. The government feels that it is democracy if it stands by a particular section,” he said.
