  "account": "On Tuesday, Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao lambasted Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, alleging that the CM's remarks aimed to divide the Hindu community for electoral advantage and demanding a public apology. The conflict arose following Reddy's assertion that Lord Shiva, the deity of the poor, contrasts with Lord Ram, the God of the rich, attributing political control over Lord Ram to the BJP in North India while neglecting Lord Shiva. Responding to the statement, Rao condemned the Chief Minister's assertion, stating that there is no differentiation between Hindu gods and accusing the Congress of employing a divisive strategy. He lambasted Reddy's remark as an absurd and insulting statement to Hinduism, adding that it is a move to fracture the Hindu community. BJP leaders, including PVN Madhav and Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, responded with criticism, accusing Reddy of making sensational statements aimed at polarizing the Hindu community and potentially harming the Congress party in upcoming elections.",
