Jana Sena chief and deputy chief minister K Pawan Kalyan announced his Varahi Declaration at Tirupati on Thursday night. He addressed a public meeting at Balaji Colony Circle where he announced the Varahi Declaration.
He said that he would stand for every religion and faith but would dedicate his life for the Sanathana Dharma. He said that in the last five years several irregularities were reported in Tirupati. It was not just contamination of laddu, but several irregularities were reported, he said. He wanted the courts to learn all these irregularities and correct them.
He said that former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was facing 29 cases and maintained that he is not a clean man. He wanted everyone to know that how a criminal would think about anything. He said that the Tirumala’s sanctity was harmed several times in the last five years.
He said that he never said that Jagan Mohan Reddy prepared laddus at Tirumala with the contaminated ghee. He said that they have only said that the ghee was contaminated and the laddus were adulterated. He also took strong exception to the YSR Congress leaders allegation that the NDA government and its leaders were politically using the laddu issue. He said that they were only asking to punish those who were responsible for the contamination of ghee.
He also asked the Supreme Court judges to know what had happened in Tirumala in the last five years of the YSR Congress rule. He wanted them to look deeper into every decision taken during the YSR Congress rule. He said that those who were appointed by the YSR Congress into the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) have done several irregularities in the Tirumala temple, he said.
When Y V Subbba Reddy was the TTD chairman, they sold the darshan tickets in the name of Srivani Trust at Rs 10,500 but issued receipt only for Rs 500, Pawan Kalyan said. Several such irregularities were noticed during the YSR Congress rule, he said.
