Strong evidence is emerging to show that the attacks on the temples are part of a major conspiracy to defame the government and to create communal discord in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Interestingly, the attacks are all falling into a pattern.

The officials say that the same electrical saw used to decapitate the Lord Rama statue in Ramatirtham was used in other similar attacks in Rajamahendravaram and several other places. This shows that the same gang was involved in these attacks at different places, according to chief secretary Adityanath Das. He said that forces inimical to the State Government, which was in the forefront of undertaking welfare and developmental programmes, were resorting to these atrocities.

He pointed out that there were attacks on the temples even earlier. He said there were two attacks in 2017,three in 2018, one in 2019 and 29 in 2020. He also pointed out that at least six incidents that had happened in 2019 were being shown as latest incident. This shows the wrong motives of those peddling these stories.

The AP Government has issued GO No 6 to form all-religion committees to ensure that there are no further attacks on the Hindu temples. As part of this committees would be formed at various levels to visit any places where such incidents happen. The chief secretary also strongly decried the attempts to impart motives to government officials on the basis of their religion.He said that the Government officials work for the welfare of the people regardless of the caste, creed, region and religion.
