Amid some hues and cries of various other sections, the AP government resolved to distribute free money to the Pastors some time ago. Accordingly, free money will be distributed among 29880 Pastors. The government will be paying approximately Rs.15 crore a month and approximately Rs.180 crore annually. Some observers opine this money can be generated through public taxes or the common good fund of Tirumala and various other Hindu temples. Meanwhile, temple priests, pujaris and pundits who are leading life below the poverty line, also wish to get free money. But then, the AP government didn't show interest to get their wishes fulfilled. Meanwhile, following is the district wise list of beneficiaries (Pastors) for AP government's free money scheme. Each pastor will get Rs.5000 per month.
