Vinayaka Chavithi, one of the biggest Hindu festivals in the country, had increased the political heat in Andhra Pradesh and the ruling YSRCP and the AP wing of Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) are at loggerheads over the festival. Both parties have their respective arguments on their opinion on the festival.
In the wake of the possible third Covid wave, the Andhra Pradesh government had announced that no public celebrations on the festivals will be permitted and the devotees should perform pooja at their houses only. The government had issued a Government Order on the same.
Finding fault with the government’s decision, the Andhra Pradesh wing of BJP is attacking the government and demanding that permission for the Vinayaka Chavithi should be given. The BJP is saying that permission should be given for the celebrations and said that all the Covid protocols will be followed.
Citing the examples of other festivals Good Friday, Muharram. When the festivals of other religions were permitted, why can’t Hindu festivals be celebrated? We are saying that the protocols will be followed, AP BJP Chief Somu Veerraju said.
Adding further, the state chief said the schools were also started and the children were also being sent to the schools. The Vardhanti of YSR was also held in the state. When there is no Corona fear in these instances, when Corona fear is only implemented for Hindu festivals, he asked.
In a tweet, he said, What is your objection Chief MInister YS Jagan Garu when Hindus celebrate the festivals by following all the Corona protocols?. Along with the tweet, he shared a press note that questions why permission is not given for Hindu festivals.
