Chandrababu faces criticism over 'temple' remark

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu faced backlash over his controversial statements at a meeting with district collectors on Wednesday in Vijayawada.

Chandrababu was quoted saying that people who commit sins visit temples and the ones who suffer from more issues, drop money, ornaments, and other valuables in Hundis, thus generating more revenues for Endowment Department.

However, facing heavy criticism from all quarters in the Telugu states over his remarks, Chandrababu has come forward stating that he was misquoted. The Chief Minister stated that he was positive of God along with peoples' sentiments on religion.
