KCR should not misuse official machinery for yagam: BJP

Flaying Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for his plans to conduct his yagam "with public money and use it as a weapon for elections," state BJP Friday demanded that he not misuse the official machinery.

BJP was not against such religious practices, but the chief minister should hold it with his own funds, state BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao said in a statement.

He alleged that the yagam was proposed to be held even as Rao's party TRS ally was AIMIM, which "abuses Hindus."
