Executive Officer of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) A.V. Dharma Reddy has denied the allegations of routing the Srivani Trust funds to the State government.
“The allegations are mendacious and baseless,” Mr. Dharma Reddy told the media on Saturday.
“The funds are being utilised for the construction and renovation of the temples in the two Telugu-speaking States,” he said. So far, about ₹516 crore has been received by way of sale of donation-linked Srivani darshan tickets.
