YSRCP demands removal of TTD Chairman BR Naidu to protect sanctity of Tirumala

Tadepalli, August 27, 2025: YSRCP spokesperson Karumuru Venkata Reddy has demanded the immediate removal of BR Naidu as Chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), stating that he lacks the moral and spiritual qualifications to continue in such a sacred post.
Addressing the media in a video released, he said the sanctity of Tirumala has been under threat ever since Chandrababu Naidu appointed BR Naidu as Chairman. He alleged that BR Naidu, notorious for broadcasting vulgar midnight shows on his TV channel, has brought disgrace to the temple by using the post for political speeches, personal gain, and questionable business deals.
Karumuru further accused him of duping the public with fake oil products under the names “Newgen” and “Orthogen,” and running a VIP ticket racket on the Hills. He charged that during BR Naidu’s tenure, belt shops, non-vegetarian food, substandard prasadam, and even religious conversions have been allowed, while negligence led to the death of six devotees.
He also alleged that BR Naidu handed over valuable TTD land to Oberoi Hotel, where liquor and meat are served, exposing his lack of devotion. Additionally, he said Naidu exploited TTD by using his sons to lure VIPs and businessmen through clubs for personal and financial gain.
“BR Naidu is unfit even to step foot on Tirumala, let alone chair TTD,” Karumuru declared. He demanded that the coalition government immediately remove him to safeguard the sanctity of Tirumala.
