The decision to rechristen the holy Yadagirigutta, the abode of Sri Lakshmi-Narasimha Swamy, as “Yadadri” by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is set to snowball into a controversy.
Telangana Yuva Sakthi, an outfit of Sangh Parivar, described the move as yet another “perverted step” of the Telangana Chief Minister.
“KCR seems to be a perverted politician, who wants to change everything for the sake of publicity,” it said.
According to TYS, Yadagirigutta temple is the land mark of Telangana people of ten districts. Not only in Telangana, the Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Yadagirigutta is famous in other parts of the country, he stated.
Stating that Yadagiri Gutta is a pure Telugu word/phrase and known since times immemorial, the TYS leader said either the Chief Minister or the pontiff China Jeeyar Swamy have no locus standi to medle with the name of the famous hill shrine of Telangana.
“The KCR government should withdraw the decision to call Yadagiri Gutta as Yadadri immediately, otherwise Telangana Yuva Shakti will launch agitation on the issue by mass contact program and padayatras”, he warned.
