KOCHI: Journalist Sunitha Devadas alleged that Sabarimala Dharma Sastha temple was converted to Sree Ayyappa Swami temple by Rahul Easwar and Prayar Gopalakrishnan to avoid women entry to the temple. She said that there is a conspiracy behind this. "They were trying to sabotage a Supreme Court verdict allowing women entry to the temple. Because, Dharma Sastha is married. Ayyappa is celibate. Devaswom Board changed the name by saying that the effigy was put there as Ayyappa after a fire in 1950", said Sunitha Devadas.

Sunitha also said that she agree with Sreedharan Pillai's statement that a case should be filed against Rahul Easwar. She said that Rahul began involving in the matters of Sabarimala only after an allegation broke out against Kandararu Mohanaru in 2006. Rahul is ready to shed blood in the temple because he does not care about the purity of the temple. He only cares about power and money, said Sunitha Devadas.
