A controversial statement given by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy regarding Lord Ram and Lord Shiva has brought a new upheaval in the country's politics. After this statement came to light, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has adopted an aggressive stance and launched a sharp counterattack on the Congress Party and has also strongly raised the historical issue of Kashi Vishwanath and Gyanvapi Masjid. BJP has demanded from the Congress leadership that they should clarify before the country what their party really thinks about the matter of Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Gyanvapi. During a press conference in the national capital Delhi, senior BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi fiercely targeted the Congress party. He said that Revanth Reddy's statement that 'Shiva is the God of the poor and the Dravidians' shows deep ignorance of Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma. BJP says that creating such a distinction between gods and goddesses and dividing them into classes to make political gains is condemnable. Seeking answer from Congress on Gyanvapi and Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Citing the ongoing cases and claims related to Gyanvapi Mosque in the courts, Sudhanshu Trivedi said that the courts and judiciary will do their legal work, but being the oldest party of the country, Congress should make its ideological position clear in front of the country. BJP questioned whether the Congress party is in support of maintaining the present form of the mosque built by the then Mughal invader Aurangzeb by demolishing the Kashi Vishwanath temple or does it oppose it? BJP has directly asked the top leadership of Congress, especially Rahul Gandhi, whether they want that the disputed structure should be removed from the Gyanvapi complex or not? The party says that the Congress Party has always been silent on these sensitive issues due to its appeasement politics. 'Congress does not understand Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma' Refuting the statements of Revanth Reddy, BJP spokesperson said that trying to create any kind of difference or discrimination between Lord Ram and Lord Shiva is the worst example of politics. He said that the entire Ramayana story is based on the Ramayana narrated by Lord Shiva himself to Mother Parvati, and Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram himself is considered to be a great devotee of Lord Shiva. The establishment of Shivalinga in Rameshwaram after the victory of Lanka is the biggest proof of this. Sudhanshu Trivedi sarcastically said that if Lord Shiva is considered only the god of the poor, then Lankan leader Ravana, who ruled the golden Lanka, was also a great devotee of Shiva. He hit out hard at the Congress, saying that those who consider Lord Ram as their ideological opponent and take the name of Shiva only for political gains, their mentality matches with demonic tendencies like Ravana. 'Influence of Islamic thinking is increasing on Congress' BJP made serious allegation and said that today the influence of a particular kind of Islamic ideology has dominated the Congress Party to such an extent that they have started looking at Hindu Gods and Goddesses from the same narrow perspective, where only one power is considered to be everything. On the contrary, every person who believes in Sanatan culture respects all the Gods and Goddesses and respects the faith of the temple as well as other religious places. Political analysts believe that this statement of Revanth Reddy may gain more importance in the coming days, because BJP has prepared an aggressive strategy regarding this issue.
