The five-day ‘Ayutha Chandi Maha Yagam’, being performed by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for people’s welfare, began today at his farm house in neighbouring Medak district, drawing sharp criticism from the opposition BJP and CPI(M) which accused him of misusing government machinery and wasting public money. Rao has dismissed the charge, claiming that no government money was being spent for the ‘yagam’ (ritual). The BJP disapproved of the “exorbitant splurge of money and misusing government machinery for a personal event”, though the party said that it supported performing “yagnas and yagas” for the larger public good. “BJP supports yagnas and yagas for the larger good of the society. We have no issue with his personal events either. However, the exorbitant splurge of money and misusing government machinery for a personal event is unacceptable,” Telangana BJP spokesperson Krishna Sagar Rao said. “BJP demands the expenditure involved in laying roads to KCR farm house, security and logistics also be borne by the CM,” he said.
