A remark by Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan about a superstitious belief has triggered a political firestorm, with leaders from Telangana accusing him of insulting the state and threatening to halt the screening of his films.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to build the “Babri masjid” using public funds, but Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel didn’t allow his plans to succeed.

The theft reportedly took place after the driver left his truck in an unguarded parking lot overnight.
