Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy defends Temple service fee hike, calls BJP 'fake Dharmarakshak'
Sep 21, 2025
Reddy, in his statement, termed the previous BJP government a "fake Dharmarakshak" government. "The 'fake Dharmarakshak' BJP government, which claims to have come to power to protect religion, had increased the worship service fees of 24 Hindu temples during the period 2019-2023. Is this an anti-religion move?" he asked.
