Days after senior BJP leader and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman levelled charges with respect to temple assets in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday, referring to it, criticised those “who were actually not pious, but attempting to deceive the people”.
Speaking at a function, Mr. Stalin referred to “false and unnecessary campaigns” being carried out on social media to confuse the people and said: “I would not worry if those like [BJP Tamil Nadu president] K. Annamalai create confusion. But, Union Minister Ms. Sitharaman has said that we are looting the temples.”
