It seems that those parties also, Who once talked about secularism in accordance with the constitutional spirit, Swimming in the Ganges of Hindutva now seems more beneficial. Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar have also jumped into this Ganga.
This fact had already come to light that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu stirred up the Tirupati laddu controversy without sufficient evidence, possibly deliberately. The experts in the laboratories where the ghee used in laddus was tested had expressed suspicion of adulteration in some of the samples. But he did not say that it was adulterated with animal fat. Chandrababu Naidu created this entire story for political gains. Since former Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy is a devout Christian, Chandrababu might have felt that raising this issue could permanently end Reddy’s political career. The comments of the Supreme Court are a confirmation of this truth. The court has advised Chandrababu Naidu to at least keep God away from politics. Amidst the current reality, compliance with this constitutional spirit appears over-optimistic. This is an era of rampant misuse of religion for political purposes. In fact, the ability to do so has become a measure of political success.
The Supreme Court reiterated the fact that till now there is no evidence available of adulteration of animal fat in Tirupati laddus. But this comment of the court has not made any difference to Chandrababu Naidu’s party. As if the reaction of experts in the media regarding this matter had no effect on him. She rests on the alleged evidence she has. It seems that even those parties, which once talked about secularism in accordance with the constitutional spirit, now find it more beneficial to swim in the Ganges of Hindutva. Recently, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, in a letter written to the Prime Minister, praised his role in building the temple in Ayodhya. He also expressed his intention to build a grand temple at the birthplace of Sita (as is believed) in Sitamarhi district. The irony is that after the election results came in June, many people had pinned their hopes on Chandrababu and Nitish Kumar to put a stop to Narendra Modi’s agenda!
