Bharatiya Janata Party State official spokesperson Samanchi Srinivas on Saturday faulted the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) for causing confusion among pilgrims from across the country over darshan timings and forcing them to wait for three-to-four days to have darshan at the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala.
He said the TTD’s announcement of providing darshan to 15,000 pilgrims daily offline has led to devotees getting stranded downhill.
Addressing a press meet at Tirupati, the BJP leader questioned as to what right the TTD had to stop the stranded pilgrims from going to Tirumala. The TTD also had no plan of action to provide hassle-free darshan, accommodation, and ‘annaprasadam’ to the devotees, he said.
