Strongly objecting YCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy call to offer prayers across the state on 28th of this month and he himself planning to visit Tirumala on foot alleging Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of making politicizing laddu adulteration, finance minister and senior TDP leader Payyavula Keshav warned him to stop continuing politicization of Tirumala.
Asserting that Tirumala is a place of worship and attached to the sentiments of crores of people, he accused that it was during Jagan’s regime he and his associates spoiled the sacred environment and transformed it into a commercial proposition for their looting.
The Finance Minister said that adulteration of ghee used for Laddu prasadam was proved without any doubt and this crime was committed during Jagan’s period. Who can deny these bare facts?, he asked. Even though Jagan pretends to be sane and preparing for worship at temples, it is nothing but a lie, he added.
Keshav advised the former chief minister Jagan to ask the devotees about the difference between the quality of laddoos in the past and the quality of laddoos now. Only then the facts come out. He recalled that for Chandrababu Naidu the sanctity of Tirumala is prime and said though as chief minister he can go for darshan through Mahadwaram, he always goes only through He said that if there is a chance for the CM to go from Vaikuntham Q Complex.
Further, the finance minister reminded that the non-believers have to sign the register if they want to have darshan of Srivaru. Has Jagan signed any time?, he asked. Atleast, this time he asked Jaganmohan Reddy to sign on such a declaration before offering prayers at Srivaru.
He said that crores of devotees of Sri Venkateswara Swamy are amazed after knowing numerous signs committed by Jagan and his associates at Tirumala. He warned that playing with people’s sentiments is enough, don’t continue to play with the sentiments of devotees.
He ridiculed Jagan’s pretence of innocence stating that as chief minister he can only nominate the trust board, but not look after the administration. Then why was the reverse tendering system implemented here?, he asked. He said that it was learned when a trust board member from North India objected on the quality of the ghee, he was bulldozed by the chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy and Executive Officer Dharma Reddy.
