The Story in Brief
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar accused the ruling Congress and the BRS of minority appeasement during Bonalu celebrations in Hyderabad on Sunday. He questioned why the government allocated only Rs 20 crore for Bonalu but Rs 33 crore for Ramzan, and alleged that funds were being denied for temple development because the government feared displeasing AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
Sanjay also attacked the Congress over unfulfilled promises, including filling two lakh government posts and providing a Rs 4,000 monthly unemployment allowance. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with providing 12 lakh jobs through Rozgar Melas. The minister promised grand Bonalu celebrations in Hyderabad's Old City if the BJP comes to power in Telangana.
The Indian Opinion
Charges of minority appeasement are thrown around freely in Telangana, but numbers tell a quieter story. The Union minister compares Rs 20 crore for Bonalu with Rs 33 crore for Ramzan without noting that festival budgets reflect years of demand and local revenue patterns, not just religious favour. If temple funding is truly short, the test will be next year's state budget, not a speech at a celebration.
