VHP secretary general Bajrang Bagda pitched for ‘freeing’ all temples and other Hindu religious places from government control across the country, as he demanded legal action against those allegedly involved in desecrating Tirupati laddu prasadam.
“Tirupati ghee incident further strengthens the Vishva Hindu Parishad’s belief that government control over temples leads to entry of politics. Due to the appointment of non-Hindu officials there in temples under government control, such impurities are deliberately introduced into the prasad ,” he said.
Bagda said the VHP has been demanding for a long time that temples and other religious places of the Hindus should not remain under government control.
“We reiterate our demand that all temples and other places of worship be freed from the government’s control. The management and control of all temples and Hindu religious places should be handed over to the Hindu society,” he said.
TTD on the other hand has a Chairman appointed by the local Government and will also have board of members. They manage the show here under the Endowments minister and also the Chief Minister.
The TTD now has a EO who is doing a good job and a Chairman has to be appointed by the Government.
