On September 3, YSR Congress MLA Vundavalli Sridevi had alleged that casteist remarks and hurtful comments were used against her by some TDP leaders when she attempted to visit a Ganesh Puja pandal.
Former CM Chandrababu Naidu, his son Nara Lokesh and several other TDP leaders were taken into preventive custody at the TDP chief's residence ahead of their planned 'Chalo Atmakur' rally today.
Controversy started after Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary L V Subramanyam recently announced that non-Hindu employees working in Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which manages the Sri Venkateswara temple atop Tirumala hill, one of the richest Hindu temples, will be sacked.
Though the items were reported missing in 2017, the theft has come to light after a former TTD board member released some documents related to the audit recently.
