New Delhi: After a wait of five-and-a-half years, Telangana CM KCR's dream temple project has been inaugurated at Yadagirigutta (Yadadri) on Monday with rapturous TRS party leaders hailing the Chief Minister for building his visionary project on a big scale. But, a Member of Parliament from Bhongir and a senior Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy were upset for not being invited to the inaugural function.

Reddy said that KCR failed to follow the protocol by not inviting him, as he is the Bhongir MP and Yadagirigutta is in the Bhongir district. The Congress leader alleged that only ruling party MPs and MLAs were invited to the mega event.

#yadadritemple

యాదాద్రి పునఃప్రారంభానికి @TelanganaCMO ప్రొటోకాల్ పాటించలేదు. స్థానిక ఎంపీగా నన్ను పునః ప్రారంభానికి పిలవలేదు.

కేవలం అధికార పార్టీ ఎమ్మెల్యేలు,ఎంపీలను మాత్రం ఆహ్వానించింది.

దేవుడు దగ్గర కేసిఆర్ బహునీచపు రాజకీయాలు చేయడం బాధాకరం.

Meanwhile, Aleru MPP Gandhamalla Ashok said that KCR playing filthy politics. "He has clearly failed to follow the protocol by ignoring Venkat Reddy to invite for the mega event happened in Yadadri," Ashok said.

The temple was renovated at a cost of a whopping Rs 1,800 crore and it took five years to revamp the ancient cave shrine of Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy.

It was initially confined to 2,500 sq yards but the temple has been spread over by sprawling 14.5 acres after the mega project of revamping taken up by the Telangana government.
