The YSR Congress Party's post on Saturday was shared on Twitter by Deodhar that read '#YSRCP_Insults_Mahadeva'.

Deodhar also shared a video of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minsiter doing 'Abhishekam' of Lord Shiva, saying: "What's this video, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy? Political drama to woo Hindus for capturing power?"

Stating that animal worship is also a form of God worship, he asked Jagan Mohan Reddy as to why such tweets and 'preachings' are not made by him on Bakrid and Christmas.
