Meeting of ‘Hindutva-vadis’ held in connection with scam of billions of rupees by western Maharashtra Devasthan Samiti; resolve to initiate movement all over the State against corruption
Kolhapur (Maharashtra) : The western Maharashtra Devasthan Management Committee has control over 3067 temples from 3 districts viz. Kolhapur, Sangli and Sindhu-durg; including the world-renowned Sri Mahalakshmi Temple and Sri Jyotiba Devalaya; but malpractices in management of this Devasthan Samiti have been exposed by Hindu Vidhidnya Parishada. It was resolved by all Hindutva-vadis attending this meeting that all organizations with similar ideologies and devotees of Sri Mahalakshmi Devi should join this movement so that the guilty in this scam would be stringently punished.
