Subba Reddy the Chrisman of TTD is only thinking in terms of pilgrims and not the religious tourists. People from across the world come to TTD and you cannot force the food in the name of Prasadam.
In real terms, the rice is of low quality and dripping water. The sambar is OK, but the curd is more diluted than the buttermilk. Why should you interfere with the freedom of pilgrims?
They let them have chai and snacks after the darshan what is your problem? Subba Reddy must clarify if he is allowing Chai Paani or not on the seven hills.
If you are hiking the Seva rates, then only the rich will be able to purchase the tickets and also get the recommendations. You have reduced the ticket rates saying that the poor must get entertainment at affordable cost.
Then why should the people get the Balaji Darshan at a higher rate? People who tried to play havoc with Balaji did not survive for long. Balaji will not be interested in making a fast buck.
Allowing the pilgrims only on the darshan day is also not right. If you restrict the diet then the footsteps will drop by ten per cent saying that you will not get the food of your choice on TTD.
The TTD in fact sell Idly sambar, dosa at a discount along with Chai Coffee. It can be named as Srivari snacks or so on and so forth. You can also say Jagannanna Chiru thindi or whatever.
Lets hope Subbareddy will change his mind in the near future for the sake of poor patients.
