Amaravati: Hitting back at his detractors seeking to make an issue of his faith, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday asserted that “humanity” was his religion.

Opposition TDP, BJP and Jana Sena have found fault with Jagan’s recent visit to famous Lord Venkateswara temple near Tirupati, claiming he had not followed the procedures of the hill shrine for non-Hindus entering it.

Jagan noted that he regarded his YSR Congress Party election manifesto as “Bible, Quran and Bhagavad Gita”. “I am keeping all the promises (made in the manifesto). I belong to that caste. Some people are unable to digest the fact that I am able to deliver good governance,” he said.
