Vijayawada: Endowments Minister Velampalli Srinivas targets State BJP chief Kanna Lakshmi Narayana over land sale row
Accuses BJP State chief of acting at the behest of TDP president Says BJP leader Bhanu Prakash Reddy was member of a sub-committee that selected 50 properties of Tirumala temple for sale in 2016
Vijayawada: Reacting to allegations of BJP state president on sale of temple lands, endowments minister Velampalli Srinivas said the proposal was made during the TTD rugle and a sub-committee selected 53 lands of the TTD for the sale in 2016.
Addressing media at the R & B office building here on Wednesday, Srinivas said a sub-committee headed by Chadalavada Krishna Murthy and the members G Bhanu Prakash Reddy, GP Ananta, Suchitra Ella and Hari Prasad had made proposals to sell 50 lands of the TTD in 2016.
He demanded that the BJP state president Lakshminarayana should respond on this issue. He said the Bhanu Prakash Reddy, a member of the sub-committee in 2016 is a BJP leader. He questioned why the BJP leader Bhanu Prakash Reddy is not responding when the BJP and the TDP were levelling allegations on the YSRCP government on the proposed sale of TTD lands.
Endowments minister said the state government would spend the money earned from the sale of properties for the development and maintenance of temples.
Describing Lakshminarayana's deeksha on May 26 against TTD's proposal as 'fake', Srinivas accused him of acting at the behest of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. He recalled that temple lands were sold in the BJP-ruled states of Uttarakhand and Maharashtra.
