TTD Chairman BR Naidu alleged that former TTD chairman Karunakar Reddy had conspired to damage the reputation of devasthanam
TIRUPATI, APRIL 14, 2025: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Chairman BR Naidu has strongly condemned the false allegations made by former TTD Chairman Karunakara Reddy that 100 cows died recently in the TTD cowshed and added that it is a conspiracy to damage the reputation of TTD.
After inspecting the cows, their fodder and other amenities that are being provided to the cattle in SV Gosala in Tirupati on Sunday along with other board members and officials, the TTD Board Chief spoke to the media. He said there is no negligence in the management of cattle in TTD Goshala, and cows are treated like mothers and are provided with feed and necessary medical services from time to time.
He also said that false propaganda is being spread by showing photos of cows that have died somewhere and photos of cows that died in cowsheds during the previous regime. The photos of cows that died during the previous regime were changed and shown to the media as if they died at present.
TTD Board Chairman said that the vigilance report itself makes it clear that expired medicines and worm-infested fodder were distributed to cows during Karunakar Reddy’s regime as TTD Chairman. On this occasion, the vigilance report of that time and the related photos were shown to the media. He warned that if the former Chairman tries to gain political benefits with baseless false allegations with a malign intention to damage the fame of TTD, then he will not be spared.
The TTD Chairman questioned whether the former Board Chief could spread false propaganda against other religious faiths in the same way and Karunakara Reddy has so much hatred against the Hindus only. He said that the former Board Chief has no fear of God and speaks falsehoods every day in some way, as he is an atheist
Adding further the TTD Chairman said, ”After I became the Chairman, when I inquired about the engineering works done during the previous regime, I was told that at every step commissions were taken and all the contractors came and asked us if we had given commissions, and criticized former TTD board Chief Karunakar Reddy as the commission Chairman. “I have been serving TTD as the Chairman without giving space or scope to any corruption”, he reiterated. Chandragiri MLA Pulivarthi Nani and TTD Board member G. Bhanu Prakash Reddy also spoke.
