Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh – December 8, 2025 – Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu launched a scathing attack on the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) on Monday, accusing them of turning a blind eye to temple thefts and engaging in politically motivated crimes.

Speaking in Amaravati, Naidu questioned the YSRCP’s alleged attempts to minimize the severity of thefts within temples, including those at the revered Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple. “How can they defend theft in the temple of Lord Venkateswara as a small matter?” he questioned, expressing outrage over the alleged support for substandard religious offerings. He further alleged that the YSRCP leaders were attempting to defend the supply of adulterated ghee used for the preparation of offering to the deity.

Naidu accused the opposition party of attempting to frame the government in criminal cases, citing specific instances. He also voiced concerns about the rising crime rate in Nellore, alleging the emergence of “lady dons” involved in murder and drug trafficking.

The Chief Minister refuted accusations made by YS Jagan, the leader of the YSRCP, challenging him to verify the state’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) figures. He also alleged that the previous YSRCP government burdened the state with a debt of ₹10 lakh crore.
