Ballari, Jan 25: Progressive thinker and religious guru, Veerabhadra Channamalla Swami, who is also the chief of the Nidumamidi Mutt has openly stated that Lord Rama and Seetha used to consume beef.
Cow meat was consumed at the time of yagnas too, the pontiff said, adding that there was reference to it in the Valmiki Ramayana also.
The RSS and BJP have forgotten this and are trying to impose a cultural imperialism on the country, which is a democracy, he said.
“The Sangh Parivar says all Hindus are one. But it is the Hindus who discriminate against the 'untouchable' communities,” lamented the seer.

EVEN BJP AND RSS PEOPLE EAT BEEF SECRETLY. I can name them
BJP and sangh parivar will not digest this truth and will protest. Hegde/Yoodiyoorappa may call for karnataka bandh.
Dear Swamiji, Thank you for your statement. But we knew it while going through Hindu scriptures. And as Abu Muhammad said, you are talking about the good person RAAM. But BJP is talking about vote bank RAM or could be about Computer RAM (Random Access Memory)

I know one thing. Seer told one fact that is RSS and BJP trying to impose cultural imperialismin India
