Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday opened a Ram temple at Mahadevapura in the city. Along with the temple, a 33-foot Hanuman idol was unveiled by the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister said: “The Sitarama Lakshmana temple built by the Hirandahalli Srirama Temple Trust will be an important temple in Bengaluru.” He also participated in a Maha Kumbhabhisheka event.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said, “Lord Rama belongs to everyone, and it is sad the ruling BJP led by Prime Minister Narendr Modi is claiming credit for Hinduism in this country. In my life, I never brought religion into politics, and I am working in a party that believes in secularism.”
