The Shivling-shaped Fountains at the G20 summit spark outrage on Twitter

The installation of Shivling-shaped fountains in Dhaula Kuan in the national capital as an element of Delhi's ongoing beautification has caused controversy.

The AAP government in the nation's capital has come under fire from the BJP for disrespecting the "Shivling" and utilizing it as decoration.

Charu Pragya, a member of the BJP's National Media Panel, posted the following on X (previously Twitter), “A Shivling is not for decoration. And Dhaula Kuan is not Gyanvapi. AAP Govt in Delhi has installed Shivling-shaped fountains at Dhaula Kuan."

Sanjay Singh, an AAP member, charged Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) VK Saxena with demeaning Shivlings in contrast to her tweet. Additionally, he stated that the Delhi LG should be punished for the tweet and that the BJP should apologize.

In a tweet on X, Sanjay Singh wrote, “Shivling was insulted under the leadership of Modi ji and shameless BJP people are praising Modi. The LG of Delhi is looting accolades by disrespecting Shivling. BJP should apologize to the country, and take action on LG."

The G20 Summit, which is set to take place in the nation's capital on September 9 and 10, has sparked a verbal spat between the BJP and AAP over money for beautification initiatives in Delhi.

According to a report from the news agency PTI, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj stated on Monday that LG VK Saxena does not have the authority under the Constitution to approve funding for projects in the national capital.
