Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam is a renowned spiritual temple in the country, and the position of TTD Chairman is considered highly prestigious. Many are eagerly awaiting the appointment to this esteemed role.
There is currently a campaign suggesting that Ashok Gajapathi Raju, the former Union Minister of Vizianagaram will be appointed to this significant position. He recently secured victory of the party in the district without contesting elections.
Ashok was the hereditary trustee of Simhachalam, and he also serves as a trustee for numerous temples in Uttarandhra.
It is believed that entrusting Ashok, known for his deep spiritual devotion, with this sacred responsibility will enhance the dignity of the TTD Chairman.
There are rumors that Ashok Gajapati Raju might also be considered for the position of Governor of any state.
Alliance leaders feel that appointing someone of his stature would not only quell any opposition but also be seen as a justified appointment.
Reports suggest that an official order appointing Ashok to this pivotal role may soon be issued by the government.
The new administration, focusing on the affairs of TTD, aims to gain favor among devotees by entrusting responsibilities to experienced figures like Ashok Gajapati Raju.
Despite his extensive political career in Andhra Pradesh and as Union Minister, Ashok Gajapati Raju is inclined towards spiritual pursuits, which aligns with the state government's readiness to assign him these responsibilities.
The name of another senior leader, Yanamala Ramakrishna, is reportedly under serious consideration for the governor's post.
