The TTD controversy has reached a boiling point in Tirumala, with serious allegations against Chairman BR Naidu threatening the sanctity of the revered site. The fallout from these claims has sparked outrage among community leaders and devotees alike.
Chandrababu Naidu continues to support BR Naidu despite accusations of misconduct, including a shocking incident where a stampede resulted in deaths, marking the first such tragedy in TTD’s history. Activist Ushasri Charan has publicly called for BR Naidu’s resignation, stating, “If Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan truly care about Tirumala’s purity and devotees’ sentiments, they must immediately secure BR Naidu’s resignation.”
Ushasri’s concerns are compounded by allegations of sexual harassment against BR Naidu made by a Brahmin woman just before the upcoming 2024 elections. These claims have further fueled the fire, leading to a broader discussion about the leadership at TTD.
Adding to the tension, Nagarjuna Yadav has condemned what he describes as a conspiracy to remove hereditary Sannidhi Gollas from TTD, a move he believes is rooted in Chandrababu Naidu’s longstanding animosity toward the Yadav community. “This action reflects Chandrababu’s deep-seated animosity toward the Yadav community,” Yadav stated.
In a related development, Venkateswarlu Yadav was relieved of his duties as a Sannidhi Golla, raising questions about the future of the community’s representation within TTD. Nagarjuna Yadav has vowed that the YSRCP will not allow the sidelining of Yadavs from TTD.
The current coalition government has also revoked land previously granted for Yadav Bhavan in Visakhapatnam, further exacerbating tensions within the community. This series of events has left many questioning the motives behind these decisions.
As the situation unfolds, the community is left grappling with uncertainty. Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential further actions or responses from TTD leadership. The stakes are high as the controversy continues to evolve, with many watching closely for the next developments.
