They raised ‘Jai Sriram’ slogans and displayed banners condemning the attack. The VHP activists criticised police for their failure to ensure protection to Hindu devotees.
BJP Tirupati district leaders extended support to the VHP dharna and demanded the government to take action on those behind the attack in Rayachoti.
Addressing the protestors, the BJP district president Samanchi Srinivas criticised Rayachoti police, pointing out that, instead of taking action on the attackers, who belongs to other religion, booked cases against Hindus for resisting the attackers.
The Rayachoti incident reveals that there is no security for Hindus in their own land and they could not take their religious activities like temple processions.
