Tirupati Balaji New President: Bolineni Rajagopal Naidu has been appointed as the new Chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Board. After assuming the new responsibility, he said that now only Hindus will work in Tirupati temple. His statement has been justified by Acharya Pramod Krishnam, the Peethadhishwar of Kalki Dham and former advisor of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Acharya Pramod Krishnam said, “Tirupati Balaji is the center, basis and subject of our faith. I would say that those people who do not have faith in God should not go to Tirupati. Just like no drunkard can work in the mosque or work there. Similarly, people who eat beef should not visit Tirupati Balaji or other religious places.”
