Don’t Deny Devotees Access to Srivari Laddu, Urges BJP Leader

Deccan Chronicle  

Tirupati:Bharatiya Janata Party leader P. Naveen Kumar Reddy has expressed strong opposition to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ recent decision to restrict the distribution of the sacred ‘Srivari Laddu’ to only two per devotee without darshan, based on Aadhaar card identification. Speaking to reporters here on Monday, the BJP leader argued that this policy unfairly affects ordinary pilgrims who often travel great distances and endure long waits to visit the sacred Tirumala temple. When darshan is not possible due to heavy crowds, devotees typically offer a coconut at the ‘Akilandam’ and purchase five or ten laddus as prasadam to distribute among family and friends,” he explained and noted that the new laddu policy will affect such common devotees. The saffron party leader warned that creating artificial scarcity of Srivari Laddus could lead to black market activities, with middlemen exploiting devotees.
