TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, along with his wife, Bhuvaneswari, worshipped presiding deity Kanaka Durgamma atop Indrakeeladri hill on Saturday. Party leaders gave him a rousing reception at the airport and followed him to the temple.

Naidu arrived from Hyderabad by a special flight and went to the temple directly. The priests at the temple offered ceremonial welcome to the former chief minister with reciting of hymns. Naidu performed a special pooja at the temple and offered prayers.

Naidu will be leaving for Simhachalam this evening to worship Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha swamy at the temple. He would then go to Hyderabad from Simhachalam. He would visit Srisailam temple on December 5 and offer prayers in the temple.
Chandrababu Naidu is also planning to visit Kadapa Darga and Mother Mary’s church in Gunadala in Vijayawada before launching his political programmes. He had already visited Tirumala and worshiped Lord Venkateswara on Friday.

Naidu is visiting all temples in the state and offering prayers after he was released on bail from Rajamahendravaram central jail in the skill development case. He was in jail for 52 days and was released on interim bail in a medical emergency.

Naidu is accused in five cases including the skill development case. The other cases are Amaravati inner ring road alignment, free sand policy, liquor policy, and fibernet scam. The APCID had filed all these cases based on the complaints given by the officials.

Naidu had filed anticipatory bail petitions in all the cases, and they are in the hearing stage in AP high court and Supreme Court. The cases are likely to be disposed of by the middle of December. A quash petition was also filed by Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development case. The supreme court had heard the quash petition and reserved the judgment.
