Nalgonda: Union Minister and BJP State President G Kishan Reddy said that Sri Abhayanjaneya Swamy Temple of Hanumannagar of Old city in Nalgonda will become a center for spirituality. Reddy was addressing a gathering after participating in ‘Prana Pratistha’ programme of an 18 ft single stone Hanuman statue in the temple on Sunday.

Speaking on this occasion, he said that the people of Nalgonda town and the surrounding areas fought for many years and went to jail to build this temple. “I honour their struggle today,” he said.
