The temple of Lord Venkateswara, built by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on 10 acres of land atop a hill, near Rushikonda, is likely to be inaugurated by March-end. This decision is said to have been taken during Chief Minister Y.S/ Jagan Mohan Reddy’s visit to Visakha Sri Sarada Peetham recently.
The temple was supposed to be opened by the Chief Minister on August 13, 2021. The undue delay even after completion of construction of the temple and laying of the road to the hill top is drawing criticism not only from the Opposition parties but also from the public.
BJP State vice president P. Vishnu Kumar Raju and other party leaders made no secret of their displeasure over the undue delay in the inauguration of the temple. They expressed the view that, perhaps, the Chief Minister has no time for Lord Venkateswara Swamy.
