VIVEK DUBEYNEW DELHI: Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy called "Shiva is the God of the poor, Ram is the God of the rich" while taking a dig at the BJP. Attributing the saffron party's success in polls across North India Reddy claimed that the BJP has "stolen Lord Ram"."We are Dravidians. People here (north) are Aryans. We are devotees of Shiva. These are devotees of Lord Ram. BJP stole Ram. It's an emotion. It's a sentiment. Why Modi ji does not say Har Har Mahadev. Have BJP people ever said Har Har Mahadev on a stage. They say only Jai Sri Ram.
