Pawan Kalyan Rakes North – South Divide over Tirumala

Jana Sena President Pawan Kalyan once again raked up the issue of North and South divide. This time, he has objected to Andhra Pradesh Government appointing AK Singhal, an IAS officer from North as the Executive Officer of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam.

While saying that he is not against North IAS Officials taking charge of TTD, Pawan Kalyan asked if South IAS Officials will be allowed to take up the administrative position of such sacred shrine of North India. He demanded an explanation from Chief Minister over this.

There are divided opinions about this issue. Some say Temples should be devoid of this North and South divide while there is a section saying that Pawan Kalyan has a point and Andhra Pradesh government should not have broken the tradition.
