During his inaugeral address at the two day conference of collectors, he made caustic remarks on the piligrims refereing to the “growing sins and increasing troubles ” of the people who committ sins. Some people may face troubles, in order to get rid of them they visit temples, some people commit sins for which they offer money.
It is a fact. During Ayyappa deeksha, they gave up drinking of liquor which has brought down the income to the ex-chequer in the same period.
