The Andhra Pradesh Sadhu Parishad staged a protest outside Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams administrative building on Tuesday in demand of strict action against those responsible for the alleged use of adulterated ghee in ‘prasadam’ offered in Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple in Tirupati.
The seers were seen standing outside the building holding posters that read “Save Tirumala” and “Save TTD”, among others.
As per reports, Swami Srinivasananda Saraswati, President of Andhra Pradesh Sadhu Parishad, accused YSRCP President and former Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy of “ruining the sanctity” of Tirumala temple.
“YSRCP President Jagan Mohan Reddy belongs to the Christian community and he never gave importance to Lord Venkateswara. He never believed in Hinduism. He always employed Christians in the post of chairman and other posts. These employees always saw Lord Venkateswara with a business purpose,” Swami Srinivasananda Saraswati said.
“In five years, Jagan Mohan Reddy ruined the sanctity of Tirumala temple. He has taken a lot of money from the offerings given by Hindu devotees in the temples. We demand the government take strict action against those involved,” the seer added.
