The Telugu Desam Party has raised its voice once a gain demanding the Government to constitute and revamp the present Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board to maintain the sanctity of the temple.
The TDP chief alleged that the present TTD Board Chairman D K Adikesavulu Naidu is a liquor baron and an "atheist", so he does not deserve to head such an organization.
When such a person is heading an orgainstation like TTD many irregularities are creeping thus causing an embarrassment to the devotees of the Tirumala. He leveled charges against the TTD in sale of tickets for paid rituals at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam.
If a person of spiritual bent up of mind is heading TTD then this sort of irregularities will not occur, he felt.
Recently, the TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, and Praja Rajyam President and Tirupati MLA Chiranjeevi trekked to Tirumala, the abode of Venkateswara, to press for their demands and held a sit-in in front of the administrative building of the TTD at Tirupati.
Apart from the opposition raised by TTD and PRP, some regional TV channels have also been running a campaign for "cleansing" the temple brass.
