A video is circulating on social media claiming that Minister P.K. Sekarbabu spoke in an insulting manner to devotees at Tiruchendur.
The coastal area of Tiruchendur temple is facing severe sea erosion. The sea erosion has occurred in the area where devotees bathe in front of the temple, and a large crater of 7 feet has formed. Devotees have been banned from bathing in this area. Various parties are demanding that the government take action to protect the Tiruchendur temple beach from sea erosion. News was published in the daily ‘Hindu Tamil Mata’ regarding the damage being done to the Tiruchendur temple beach due to sea erosion. In this situation, Kanimozhi MP, Hindu Religious and Endowments Minister P.K. Sekarbabu, Fisheries, Fishermen Welfare and Animal Husbandry Minister Anitha R. Radhakrishnan, and District Collector K. Ilambhagavat inspected the Tiruchendur temple beach the day before yesterday.
At that time, devotees who had been stuck on the public darshan route on the opposite side for more than 4 hours and were waiting to have darshan of the Swami suddenly shouted slogans at the ministers. ‘There is no drinking water here. We cannot see the Swami. We cannot go out. There is a crowd on both sides. We are having a lot of trouble with the children.’” They raised their voices. At that time, Minister Shekarbabu walked while telling those around him, “He will wait for 24 hours in Tirupati, that is not a calculation.” The video of the devotees’ slogan and the minister’s speech is being circulated on social media. People from Hindu organizations are complaining that the minister spoke in an insulting manner to the devotees.
Time will teach us a lesson… BJP state president Annamalai has said in his X-Sala: Minister Shekarbabu spoke to the devotees in Tiruchendur temple in a monotonous and indifferent manner.
They have provided all the facilities to the people in Tirupati temple. They do not spend the money in an improper manner. They do not take commission on the temple offerings.
The minister is playing with the arrogance of being close to the Gopalapuram family Sekar Babu. Time has taught those who played with power more than this. Minister Sekar Babu should be ready to answer to God and the people for his mistakes. This is what it says.
Similarly, in a statement released by Hindu Munnani state president Kadeshwara C. Subramaniam, “It is the duty of the government to provide necessary facilities to the devotees. How will the officials behave if the minister insults the devotees? Steps should be taken to provide basic facilities to the devotees in Tiruchendur and to protect the temple from sea erosion. Furthermore, Minister Sekar Babu and Kani Mozhi MP who insulted the devotees “They should apologize,” he said. Devotees raised their voices in displeasure at the ministers who came to inspect the Thiruchendur Subramaniam Swamy Temple.
