Ashok Gajapati Raju takes a dig at MANSAS trust chairperson Sanchaita Gajapati Raju

Conflicts in the family of the Gajapati kings of Vizianagaram district are taking several twists day by day. It is known fact that the YS Jagan government has appointed Sanchaita Gajapati Raju as Mansas Trust Chairperson. She has been declared the Chairperson of 104 temples in East Godavari districts by the government. The AP government issued orders to this effect on November 2. It is also knew that Ashok Gajapati Raju was the former chairperson.

In this backdrop, Ashok Gajapati Raju responded to the matter saying that the latter did not attend a single festival in 105 temples. He said that he was illegally fired as the chairman of with a GO in the night without any prior notice. The former chairman commented that the post was not an appointing post but a regular one, which is to be garnered by the family members. He was incensed over lamp offerings not being done in 37 temples and demanded for worship to be done in all temples.

Ashok Gajapati Raju reacted strongly to the post made by Sanchaita on social media. "Is there anyone in history who has changed fathers?" Ashok opined. He made harsh remarks against Sanchaita. He commented that he had never seen a child change his father's name. Ashok detonated another bomb saying that the accumulator had never met his father and grandfather. They do not even go to the temples run by their ancestors. It is painful to mourn over their property.

He said that the government had acted in a dictatorial manner in the appointments of the trust. It had acted contrary to the norms and principles of natural law. He said the government's decision to decide who should be in which family was incorrect.
