‘YSRCP leaders have distorted by opinions’
Hereditary trustee of the Kodandarama temple at Ramateertham and senior TDP leader Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju has said police cases will not deter him from protecting the tradition and culture of the temples.
Addressing the media here on Thursday, Mr. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, while referring to the row he was involved in at the stone-laying ceremony for reconstruction of temple on Wednesday, made it clear that he had not disrupted the proceedings marking the occasion.
I had insisted on following the tradition and culture during the construction of the temple and installation of the idols. My opinions had been distorted by the YSRCP leaders, he alleged.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
