Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu announced on Friday that Tirumala Sri Venkateshwara Swamy temples will be built in all the state capitals in India. He will personally write to the CMs of all states to take the sacred idea forward.
CM Chandrababu visited Tirumala Tirupati on Friday along with his family, as he celebrated his grandson Nara Devaansh’s birthday in the sacred pilgrimage place.
After having Darshan and taking part in Annaprasadam Seva at Vengamamba Anna Prasada Complex, CM Chandrababu Naidu took up an official review of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) affairs. Speaking later he made important announcements.
“It is because of Sri Venkateswara Swamy blessings that my life got saved even after 24 claymore mines got blasted in Alipiri attack. My life is a gift given by Venkateswara Swamy and I will serve Venkateswara Swamy till my last breath. Therefore I have fought whenever there was threat to Tirumala’s sanctity and properties and protected them,” said CM Chandrababu Naidu expressing his devotion and gratitude to Sri Venkateswara Swamy.
“I feel blessed to take part in Annadanam on the occasion of his birthday. It was NTR who started Annadanam tradition in Tirumala. Today Annaprasadam Vitarana program has got a corpus fund of Rs 2,200 Cr through donations. Later I have started ‘Pranadanam’ program. Now I want to take up the new mission of building Venkateswara Swamy temples,” further said CM Chandrababu Naidu.
“I will take steps to build TTD’s Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in all state capitals in India. I will personally write to all CMs to make this happen. Even today many villages do not have Venkateswara Swamy temples. We will form a Trust to build Venkateswara Swamy temples in all the villages in Andhra Pradesh,” added CM Chandrababu Naidu.
CM Chandrababu Naidu also announced canceling controversial land allotment made to Mumtaz Hotel and Devlok near Tirumala hills.
