Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu on Friday accused various political parties of levelling baseless allegations against the TTD’s SRIVANI Trust, and said it was not proper on their part to drag the sacred religious institution into politics.
Addressing the media, Mr. Rambabu said a few leaders who did not have any knowledge about the trust were indulging in mud slinging activities for petty political gains.
The trust, he said, had been floated with an intention to promote antient Hindu dharma, construct, renovate dilapidated temples across the country and provide financial assistance to ensure ‘nitya dhoopa, deepa, naivedhyam’ at the temples with poor income.
