A prominent Sangh Parivar outfit on Saturday alleged that the real objective of the upcoming Global Ayyappa Sangamam is not the development of Sabarimala but commercial interests of the LDF government.
Though the Travancore Devaswom Board claims to organise the event to commemorate it’s 75th anniversary, it is the Left government which takes initiative for the event, the Bharatheeya Vichara Kendram (BVK) said in a resolution.
The resolution, adopted by the State committee of the BVK, also alleged that the government is going ahead with the preparations of the Sangamam, scheduled to be held on September 20 at Pampa, without any transparency.
“A master plan for the development of Sabarimala Lord Ayyappa Temple has been in place for years. Those who have not done anything effective in this regard are now talking about development,” it said.
Raising doubt about the sincerity behind organising such an event, the Kendram also suspected that the only objective behind the Ayyappa Sangam, like many other government programmes, is to mobilise money.
