Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Payyavula Keshav on Wednesday criticised the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) for not resolving the problems of the devotees waiting for darshan at the Tirumala temple.
In a statement on Wednesday, Mr. Keshav asked why the TTD, which had the capacity to make facilities for a lakh of devotees, did not erect tents this summer. The devotees faced problems as the authorities did not allot 1,500 rooms in Tirumala, he said.
The Joint Executive Officer remained at Vontimitta, much ahead of the Chief Minister’s visit there, he said. “The TTD’s wrong decisions are causing needless pain and embarrassment to the devotees,” he alleged.
