Pawan Kalyan Fumes Over North Indian As TTD EO
The actor made sensational remarks on Twitter today asking whether any South Indian officer was ever appointed chief of any devasthanam in North India.
Jana Sena founder-leader and actor Pawan Kalyan made sensational remarks on Twitter today asking whether any South Indian officer was ever appointed chief of any devasthanam in North India.
Taking serious exception to the decision of the Andhra Pradesh government in appointing Anil Kumar Singhal of North India as Executive Officer of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, the actor asked the Chandrababu Naidu government to give an explanation to the people of South India in this regard.
Upset with the "injustice" meted out to the South Indian states, Kalyan made it clear that he was not against "north Indian IAS officials" taking charge of TTD, but questioned whether they would allow any south Indian to take up the administrative positions of the sacred Hindu temples in Amaranath, Varanasi and Mathura.
Meanwhile, Swami Swaroopanandendra Saraswati of Sarada Peetham in Visakhapatnam said he would go to court and challenge the AP government's decision to appoint a north Indian IAS officer as TTD EO.
Anil Kumar Singhal assumed charge as TTD EO on Saturday.
