A major controversy has come to light in Andhra Pradesh, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party has accused the YSR Congress government of theft of over Rs 100 crore from the Parakamani (Danpeti) of the Tirupati temple. BJP leader and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) member Bhanu Prakash Reddy claimed that it was the ‘biggest loot’ in the history of TTD during YSR Congress rule (2019-2024).
CCTV footage and connection with Tadepalli Palace
Reddy issued CCTV footage in support of the allegations, saying that the temple employee Ravikumar stole cash from Danpeti. He alleged that this looted money was invested in real estate and a part of it was sent directly to former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s residence, Tadepalli Palace.
The BJP leader also alleged that many senior leaders and top officials of YSR Congress were involved in the scam. He said that a police officer was also working with the intention of robbing the property of Tirupati temple. Reddy claimed that the matter was first resolved through Lok Adalat and important evidence related to the scam has also been destroyed.
