UPDATED: Jun 8, 2025 20:30 IST
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu reiterated his party's support to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, saying that if used properly, this law is pro-Muslim.
Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) voted in Parliament in support of the contentious law enacted by the Modi government, which got the President's nod in April. The TDP is part of the ruling NDA alliance in the Centre, alongside Nitish Kumar's JDU, Chirag Paswan's LJP and Jayant Chaudhary's RLD, among others.
Speaking exclusively to India Today TV on Sunday, the TDP chief recalled the work done by his previous governments for Muslim minorities in the state and said that his party is fully committed to the welfare of all religions and communities. "If used properly, the Waqf law is pro-Muslim," Naidu said.

Naidu also touched upon a range of issues of national significance as well as those concerning Andhra Pradesh. Watch the full interview.
