Editorial Viewpoint

Muslim MLC is scamming money in Hindu temple darshan tickets. Hindu temples are seen as a means of scam by such corrupt MLCs. This is the harmful effect of Government takeover of temples !  As Hindu-hater YSR Congress is in power in Andhra Pradesh, it is hard to expect that these things will stop.
