Bengaluru, Feb 26: The ruling BJP and the opposition Congress are in confrontation mode over the issue of entering a temple after eating non-vegetarian food. The controversy erupted after some Congress members alleged that BJP MLA and national general secretary C.T. Ravi entered a temple after having non-vegetarian food in Uttara Kannada district.

The BJP faced severe embarrassment over the issue as it had made the issue of then CM Siddaramaiah entering a temple after having non-vegetarian food. It was projected as a disrespectful move by Siddaramaiah.

The saffron party had also alleged in 2018 that Siddaramaiah and the Congress don’t respect Hindu traditions.
