VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that during the previous government’s regime entire systems in sacred Tirumala Tirupati devasthanam were ruined and attacks on temples increased. When he protested over defacing of Srirama idol in Ramatheertham, cases were filed against him. He said that during previous government regime adulterated ghee was supplied to TTD by spending Rs 234 crore and 20.01 crore laddus prepared with adulterated ghee were sold to devotees.
Giving a power point presentation on TTD adulterated ghee issue in state assembly today, the Chief Minister said immediately after the coalition government came to power as a Chief Minister, he signed second signature on revamping the TTD systems and decided to form a SIT to inquire into adulterated ghee issue. However the YCP challenged the decision in Supreme Court and the Supreme court made it clear that there should not be any political interference and ordered to form a SIT and ordered for CBI Inquiry on adulterated ghee issue. The CBI submitted a report to state government suggesting corrections in TTD affairs. The YCP filed a petition on one man commission and the petition was dismissed.
