BRS MLA Kaushik Reddy faces backlash over film shot at Yadadri temple

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy is facing public outrage after filming a video on social media at the venerated Yadadri Temple in Telangana. The video, which features Reddy along with his wife and daughter, sparked a wave of criticism.

Madhura Neni Subhash Chander, co-convenor of Dharma Prasaar state of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), has lodged a formal complaint with the police in Telangana’s Sangareddy district, according to an India Today report. Chander’s complaint alleged that Reddy’s actions disrespected the sanctity of the temple, which has deep spiritual significance for millions of devotees.

The video, widely shared on social media, sparked accusations of offending religious sentiments. The VHP, along with the Bajrang Dal, demanded that Reddy issue a public apology to the Hindu community, underlining that such behavior in sacred spaces cannot be tolerated.

As pressure mounts, both the MLA and the temple administration are urged to resolve the controversy quickly.
