There is complete chaos and confusion on the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam on the eve of Vaikunta Ekadasi. The pilgrims in general argued with the police that they must be allowed in the Vaikuntam line complex.
A large number of VVIPs are coming for the darshan on Saturday morning on account of the auspicious day. TTD has specified that the pilgrims with tokens will only be allowed for the Darshan in the coming days.
It looks like the TTD is not bothered about the people who come for free darshan in the coming days. The Vaikunta dwaram will be opened from this midnight.
The police who tried to control were also in no position to find a solution for the darshan of the common man on TTD. The regular arrangements which were in place last year were not seen this time.
Meanwhile, all other Temples in the Telugu states are making arrangements for the said Vaikunta Dwara darshanam. There is a heavy rush for all the temples and management are finding it very difficult to give them accommodation.
There were no instructions that the people coming for darshan in various temples should wear mask. The TTD did not bother to look into this aspect at all.
The pilgrims in general believe that giving tickets three months ahead for the TTD was not right. One month ahead would be right. The Ministers and VIPs of Andhra Pradesh are having a field time and they are getting all the importance and also darshans here.
Letters in the name of YSRC lawmakers are getting all the importance here on the TTD. Letters from Telangana are just ignored. The police of AP are also having all the importance on the TTD.
