CPM district committee secretary K Lokanadham condemned the attacks on temples and demanded stern action against the culprits.

Meanwhile, YSR Congress Party Rajya Sabha member Vijay Sai Reddy said he suspected the role of Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu in the Ramatheertham incident. The TDP leaders had resorted to the act in a bid to divert the attention of the people, he alleged.

The severed head of the idol was later found in the temple pond and efforts are on for its re-installation by representatives of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami Ashram.
