Only Hindus Should Work in TTD

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has clarified that only Hindus will work in Tirumala temple. People belonging to other faiths will be sent to other places which are convenient to them, he said.

Chandrababu is in Tirumala to celebrate the birthday of his grandson Devansh along with his family including Bhuwaneswari, Lokesh and Brahmani.

They performed special pujas at the temple and did seva by doing annadanam at Tarigonda Vengamamba Satram.

Speaking to the media, Chandrababu said that TTD temples will be developed in other states reiterating his earlier stand. The idea behind this is to safeguard the wealth and assets of Lord Venkateswara in various places across the world, said the CM.

NRIs are requesting for temples abroad, he said.

Babu also said that devotees come from around the world and donate for free meals. Doing seva gives immense satisfaction, he went on to say. He emphasized that the seven hills belonged to Lord Venkateswara and that no inappropriate action should take place at Tirumala.

He said he had promised to cleanse Tirumala once he comes to power and was diligently keeping his promise. Babu also took the opportunity to state that the lands allocated to Mumtaz Hotel have been revoked.

Babu shared that the hotel management said they will serve only vegetarian food. But the permission was not granted to retain the sanctity of the place, he said.

35.32 acres of land allocated to various organisations was also taken back, shared Babu. He announced the formation of a special temple trust to take up the construction of TTD temples in India and abroad.

Chandrababu lauded the annadanam and pranadanam programmes and called upon devotees to do seva whenever possible.
