Rising income in temples due to growing sins- AP CM

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has attributed the 27 per cent increase in the income of temples in AP as the result of “growing sins”. Addressing district collectors at the inauguration of a two-day conference, Naidu said, “People are committing sins and to get rid of them they are going to temples and offering money.” He asked the collectors to develop a “competitive spirit” and said the 2015-16 financial year should be taken as the base year for competition among districts in various development indicators. “Your focus should be on inclusive growth and balanced development. Also, strive to achieve at least 80 per cent satisfaction among people,” he said.
