Hyderabad: Former Minister Marri Shashidhar Reddy has sought ‘valuation report’ of the gold offered by the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam (TTD).

"It's not correct for KCR to use public money for his personal vows to god. Government should make public what transparency was maintained in the making of ornaments offered to Lord Venkateswara (at Tirupati). To whom this contract was given, it should be made public," Congress leader Sasidhar Reddy told reporters here.

Sashidhar Reddy, a former vice-chairman of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), said he would write a letter to the Executive Officer of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), the body that administers the Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirupati, to state the value of the ornaments.

Questions on transparency in the making of ornaments arose in view of corruption happening in Telangana, he said.
