Oppn slams AP Govt over TTD Board appointments

Opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh today stepped up pressure on the state government over the alleged controversial appointments to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Board and demanded an apology and explanation from the Chief Minister.

Opposition parties, including the Congress and BJP wanted Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to respect the sentiments of Hindus and scrap the controversial appointments, including that of the Chairman and a member, who admitted that her family was "basically Christian."
While Yadav claims to be a devout Hindu despite Hindu groups alleging he participated in Christian religious events, Anita has admitted that her family is "basically Christian."
Reddy, a former minister, also said the MLA was on record saying she always carried a Bible. "Nothing wrong in it, but she is ineligible to be a member of the TTD Board."
