PK condemns restrictions on Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations

Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan has once again lashed out at the attitude of the Andhra Pradesh government. He strongly objected to imposing restrictions on Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations. He advised the government to withdraw the restraints immediately.

Recently, the Andhra Pradesh government, led by CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy imposed restrictions on erecting Vinayaka idols in public places during the festive season. In a move to prevent the approaching COVID-19 third wave, the government allowed people to celebrate the festival in their homes and temples.

However, the decision of the AP government has been receiving criticism from opposition leaders. Pawan Kalyan questioned Jagan over not placing any restrictions on YSRCP leaders’ birthday celebrations, but limiting them only to Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations. He also alleged that Jagan’s orders are a threat to the Hindu culture and tradition of celebrating the festival.
