Tirupati, June 14: Taking a serious note of the allegations levelled by former Chief priest A.V. Ramana Dikshitulu, management of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam has decided to sue Dikshitulu for his alleged remark on the temple body.
According to media reports, TDD board under the chairmanship of Putta Sudhakar Yadav would be filing a defamation petition against Dikshitulu for his allegations against the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam.
Earlier, Ramana Dikshitulu had publically accused the religious body of financial mismanagement. The former Chief priest had raised serious objections over the functioning of TTD board and also filed a petition for bringing TTD administration under Right to Information Act.
Days after his open criticism, TTD appointed new chief priest A Venugopala Deekshitulu, replacing 69-year-old Ramana Deekshitulu. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has decided to file a plea in the apex court against the removal of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Chief Priest Ramana Dikshitalu.
