BJP is set to make a ‘political declaration’ on the raging issue of diversion of funds from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) for purposes other than mandated in the TTD Act, State spokesperson G. Bhanuprakash Reddy said on Saturday.
The decision came after the TTD called for four tenders worth ₹70 crore towards meeting the sanitation needs of the Municipal Corporation of Tirupati (MCT). The issue was discussed during the recent party convention at Ongole
While insisting that the BJP is not against the development of Tirupati, he said it should not be from the TTD’s funds. “Pro YSRCP social activists are creating furore that the BJP is against development, but are they prepared to accept diversion of TTD funds?” he said.
