1,000 non-Hindus working in TTD, asserts Bhanu Prakash
Tirupati: Strongly defending Union minister of state for home affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar's allegations that 1,000 non-Hindus are working in TTD, BJP leader and TTD trust board member G Bhanu Prakash Reddy sought a door-to-door survey of TTD employees to find out non-Hindus working in TTD. Criticising YSRCP senior leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy for finding fault with Sanjay Kumar's statement, he dared him, who was also former TTD chairman, to press for the door-to-door survey. 'There are 22,000 employees, including contract and outsourced and regular, in which many are still practising other religious faiths in their homes. I myself asked the management to take up a door-to-door survey to find out those TTD employees following other religion during TTD board meetings,' he said. He said such employees work in TTD, a Hindu religious institution, but reluctant to take Swamy vari prasadam or harathi. He wanted Karunakar Reddy stop deriving political mileage out of Sanjay Kumar's statement and extend his support to clean the TTD administration. He further said people will not forget the irregularities that had taken place in TTD during YSRCP rule 2019-24 and also appointing a Nasthika (non-believer) as TTD chairman.

Bhumana refutes Bandi Sanjay's charge on non-Hindus in TTD
Tirupati: YSRCP senior leader and TTD former chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy found fault with the minister of state for home affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar's allegation of non-Hindus working in TTD saying it dents the image of TTD, the biggest Hindu organisation. In a statement here on Saturday, Karunakar Reddy said the Union minister's allegation that 1,000 non-Hindus working in TTD is baseless and affects TTD's image and also hurts devotees' sentiments. He said the NDA coalition which is often boasting that it would clean the TTD should act on the allegation or the minister should withdraw it. 'It is surprising that so far the authorities concerned, including TTD, its chairman, EO, endowments department and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, have not reacted to the Union minister's allegation and the government owe an explanation on Sanjay's statement,' he said. Karunakar Reddy also suspected a conspiracy behind the minister's allegation as nearly 20 per cent of the employees in TTD were allegedly non-Hindus which is untrue and an insult to TTD trust board and also its employees.
