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.
The outgoing Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Trust Board TDP leader Putta Sudhakar Yadav submitted his resignation as the Chairman yesterday.
Demanding a CBI inquiry, Jagan Mohan Reddy asserted that only a probe by an independent agency could reveal the truth. He further stated that the police were trying to divert the attention with wrong leads and fabricated evidence.
