Amaravati: The YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) on Friday alleged that about 100 cows died in the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Gaushala in the last three months due to "negligence and poor care of the temple institution".
The TTD has strongly denied these allegations and called the claims being made on social media about the death of 100 cows as "completely fake and misleading". YSRCP said in a post on 'X', "Heartbreaking scenes have emerged from the TTD Gaushala, where about 100 cows have lost their lives due to gross neglect and poor care in the last three months. A silent tragedy is unfolding at the sacred place built to shelter and protect them."
Allegations of neglect of Gaushala
YSRCP leader M Bharat accused the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-led government of Andhra Pradesh of neglecting the TTD Gaushala. He claimed that more than 100 cows have died in the TTD Gaushala recently. The former Rajahmundry MP said that this is a betrayal of Lord Venkateswara and the state government should answer for these shocking deaths. He urged Hindu leaders to demand justice.
Inquiry is needed to maintain the sanctity of Tirumala: Reddy
YSRCP leader and former TTD chairman B Karunakar Reddy also expressed concern over this and blamed poor care for the death of cows. He said that an inquiry is needed to maintain the sanctity of Tirumala. He said in a release that the condition of TTD Gaushala has deteriorated under the current leadership. Reddy alleged that the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) lacked expertise and termed it as sheer negligence of the board appointed by the NDA alliance.
TTD calls it "malicious"
In an official statement on Friday, the TTD said that the photos circulated were not related to the TTD Gaushala. It condemned the propaganda and called it "malicious". The TTD appealed to devotees not to fall prey to misinformation and stressed its continued commitment to animal welfare and the sanctity of temple traditions.
