Govt. has breached temple tradition: Yeddyurappa
Entry of women into Sabarimala temple
Bengaluru, Jan 2: BJP state president and former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa said that the Kerala government has breached the tradition of the Sabarimala temple by allowing the women into it in police escort.
Speaking to reporters at his residence here on Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said that women have entered the temple with police protection and thus, the Kerala government itself has breached the tradition of Sabarimala.
The government has been provoking the people. Kerala BJP unit has been fighting against it and called for a bandh, he said.
On present politics, Yeddyurappa said that he would not worry about the present developments in the state politics. There was no relationship between the news being telecast in the media on Operation Lotus and himself.
“I would not be in Bengaluru for one week. But that does not mean that we are planning to topple the government.
As part Suttur Mutt programme, I will be in Shivamogga for another one week. As an efficient Opposition party, we have been exposing the lapses of the government.
Till they have majority, it’s their government. Hundreds of taluks are reeling under drought and let the government work for drought problem”, he said.
