In recent days, Tirupati has been at the center of discussions across the Telugu states, following a tragic stampede incident related to the Tirumala Vaikunta darshan tickets, which led to the loss of six lives. This unfortunate event ignited a political debate.
Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, called for an apology from TTD Chairman BR Naidu, citing it as a matter of courtesy in the aftermath of the tragedy. When asked about this, Naidu responded calmly, suggesting that there was no need to overreact. His remarks sparked some controversy, but he quickly clarified that his comment was not meant to downplay Pawan Kalyan’s statement, but was simply a general observation.
Despite this brief verbal exchange, both leaders wisely decided to move past the issue and focus on more pressing matters. This helped steer the conversation away from political narratives that some members of the YSR Congress were attempting to weave around the incident for political gain.
On a positive note, the situation in Tirumala has improved significantly. During the ongoing Vaikunta period, the shrine is operating at full capacity, but every effort is being made to ensure the safety and comfort of the pilgrims. Darshan timings have been shortened, and only a limited number of tickets are being issued. The queue complex has been carefully managed, with heightened attention to providing food and water for those waiting in line.
It is commendable that TTD Chairman BR Naidu chose to end the political discourse and instead focused on the practical steps needed to address the situation. His proactive approach in streamlining operations in Tirumala has been crucial in ensuring the well-being of devotees during this busy period.
