He emphasized that religious ignorance and fanaticism is a threat to society and there is no place for violence in any religion. KCR termed Hare Krishna’s support to the Telangana government as commendable, citing the Akshaya Patra program’s efforts to supply meals through Annapoorna to school children and provide food for the poor in Hyderabad.
