TTD Board warned against privatisation of assets

Tirupati: Rayalaseema Porata Samithi (RPS) Convener P Naveen Kumar Reddy has condemned the attitude of the state government and TTD Trust Board for misusing Devasthanam funds for private use. The government has been sending GOs to TTD for its funds and the Trust Board accepting them immediately.

Speaking to the media here on Monday, the RPS Convener quoted the recent example in which the proposal to allot Rs 10 crore TTD funds to build Kalyanamandapam and guest houses in Madakasira of Anantapur district and withdrawn the proposal after he sent the legal notices.

The proposal to allot Rs 4.75 crore to Sri Sitarama Swamy temple at Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad for Kalyanamandapam, guest house and parking arrangements was not correct as there was already TTD Information Centre and Srivari Temple in Himayat Nagar.
