Telangana to build own guest houses in Sabarimala, Varanasi for pilgrims

In an apparent counter to BJP's temple politics and offset the right-wing charge of appeasing Owaisi's AIMIM, the Telangana government has decided to construct state guest houses in two well-known pilgrim centres - Varanasi and Sabarimala. The cabinet on Thursday sanctioned Rs 25 crore each for construction of the guest houses.
