The TTD controversy has escalated dramatically, with serious allegations against Chairman BR Naidu threatening to tarnish the sanctity of Tirumala. This situation has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters, including Ushasri Charan, who has called for Naidu’s resignation to protect the integrity of the revered site.
Chandrababu Naidu’s unwavering support for BR Naidu amidst these allegations has raised eyebrows. Accusations include a series of sacrileges during BR Naidu’s tenure, as highlighted by Ushasri Charan, who stated, “If Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan truly care about Tirumala’s purity and devotees’ sentiments, they must immediately secure BR Naidu’s resignation.”
Compounding the controversy, a tragic stampede occurred in Tirupati, marking the first such incident in TTD history, resulting in multiple fatalities. This incident has further fueled public outrage and scrutiny of the management under BR Naidu.
In a shocking twist, a Brahmin woman has alleged sexual harassment by BR Naidu, coinciding with the upcoming 2024 elections, which adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing situation.
Nagarjuna Yadav has condemned what he describes as a conspiracy to remove hereditary Sannidhi Gollas from TTD, asserting that such attempts echo past efforts during Chandrababu Naidu’s previous term in 2016. He stated, “This action reflects Chandrababu’s deep-seated animosity toward the Yadav community.”
Recent developments have seen Venkateswarlu Yadav being relieved of his duties as a Sannidhi Golla, raising concerns about the future of the Yadav community within TTD. Nagarjuna Yadav has warned that the YSRCP will not allow the sidelining of Yadavs from TTD.
Adding to the tension, the current coalition government has revoked land granted for Yadav Bhavan in Visakhapatnam, further alienating the Yadav community and intensifying political tensions.
As the situation unfolds, the implications for TTD and its management remain uncertain. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the allegations and their potential impact on the upcoming elections.
