GUNTUR: BJP Mahila Morcha staged a protest here on Sunday demanding that the government take steps to prevent attacks on temples in the state. 

BJP district in-charge Patibandla Ramakrishna sought resignation of Endowments Minister Vellampalli Srinivasa Rao owning moral responsibility for the “government’s failure” to prevent attacks on temples. 

“The minister has remained a mute spectator even as desecrations continued unabated at the temples in the last 19 months,” BJP Mahila Morcha state treasurer B Sridevi alleged.
