After his appointment, he attacked previous YSRCP government led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and said that they made a lot of mistakes. His statement comes amid Tirupati Laddu row, the matter which is in the Supreme Court. He alleged that Tirumala lost upon its sanctity during YSRCP regime. Naidu said, “The previous government made a lot of mistakes there. I did not go to Tirumala even once in 5 years because I felt that it did not have its sanctity. Earlier, I used to go to Tirumala 5-6 times a year.”

Furthermore, he added that he has discussed several issues pertaining to TTD with Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu. “I have discussed with CM Chandrababu Naidu about these issues. I intend to just work there not with the intention of gaining anything,” said Naidu.
