Terming the allegations made by BJP leader G. Bhanuprakash Reddy over the renovation of the Paruveta Mandapam as his personal views, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy has maintained that the centuries-old structure, which was in a dilapidated condition, was renovated employing the same slabs and pillars and that the structure was not demolished.
Addressing the media on November 8 (Wednesday), Mr. Dharma Reddy questioned as to why would the TTD create chaos by demolishing an ancient structure.
The decision to renovate the ancient mandapam at Alipiri was also taken on similar grounds that it is in a dilapidated condition. If it demands a complete revamp, the TTD will employ the same stones and pillars extracted from the mandapam, he said.
