TTD Denies Allegations

TTD refuted the charges of Srikakulam district Krishnapuram-based Ananda Ashram Pontiff Sri Sri Sri Srinivasananda Saraswati Swami who alleged during a media conference at Tirupati on Monday that TTD additional EO Sri Venkaiah Chowdhary had insulted denying the Darshan tickets sought by the Swamiji.

The pontiff had sought tickets for 50 VIP break Darshan and 550 SED(₹300) along with accommodation on Sunday. TTD had agreed to provide the accommodation as sought by the Pontiff.

The Additional EO had requested the Seer to reduce the demand for Darshan tickets, as being a Sunday and rush day and provision of such a large number of Darshan tickets was difficult.

However, the Ananda Ashram Pontiff did not agree to do so and instead held a media conference making serious allegations against a TTD superior official.

TTD reiterated its commitment and priority for common devotees and the charges made by the pontiff as uncalled for.
