DMK is always against temples .. BJP leader L Murugan's speech ...

“The DMK has always been against temples. The charitable department should leave the Hindu temples, ”said L. Murugan, leader of the Tamil Nadu BJP.

After visiting the Mandakkad Bhagwati Amman temple which was damaged in the fire, he further said: If the DMK comes to power, they will not maintain the temples properly. But the temple will spend differently with the proceeds. I hope the government does not do this anymore. The Treasury should leave the Hindu temples. Devotees should hand over the management of the temple to the committee.

The authorities, who were negligent till the fire broke out in the Mandakkadu temple, should take stern action against whoever the priests were. Operating according to the traditional Kerala style, the temple needs to be renovated as it is. The roof should be made of gold plate when the roof is burnt. Thus he said.
