அறநிலையதுறை விவகாரம்.... சேகர்பாபு vs அமைச்சர் ரமேஷ்

According to Polimer News, Tamil Nadu Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) P.K. Sekar Babu and his counterpart have engaged in a public exchange regarding the administration of temple affairs. Minister Ramesh addressed recent criticisms from former minister Sekar Babu, who had reportedly labeled him as 'half-baked' in his understanding of the department's operations.

In a press briefing held at the Secretariat, Minister Ramesh responded to these remarks by suggesting that his lack of complete knowledge regarding the department's past activities may be due to the fact that he has not yet fully uncovered the irregularities that occurred during the previous administration. He framed his response as a retort to the criticism, implying that the alleged mismanagement remains a subject of ongoing scrutiny.

Furthermore, Minister Ramesh utilized the opportunity to address questions regarding the recent selection of members for temple trustee committees. He provided a formal explanation for the appointment of film producer Archana Kalpathi and playback singer Velmurugan to these oversight bodies, defending the selection process as part of the department's broader efforts to manage temple affairs effectively. The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions surrounding the governance and oversight of religious institutions in the state.
