Subramanian Swamy brought a new twist to the dispute surrounding the retirement of Ramana Dikshitulu as TTD Head Priest. He claims to have held discussions with a team of legal experts over PIL seeking Supreme Court to free Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) from the clutches of the AP Government. 'In Chennai with my legal team of Mohan Das, TR Ramesh and R Ravi to prepare the writ petition for freeing the Tirumala Tirupati temple from AP Government clutches,' he informed.
Earlier, This BJP MP termed the forced retirement of Ramana Dikshitulu as illegal. He even threatened to approach the court against the dismissal and seek a CBI Probe over the alleged misuse of TTD Funds.
The move by TTD Trust Board approving a resolution sacking all the 'Hereditary Archakas' aging 65-plus sparked a controversy. This rule led to the replacement of Head Priest Ramana Dikshitulu with Venugopala Dikshitulu. Thereafter, Ramana Dikshitulu complained he was sacked for reporting to Amit Shah about how TTD treasures were looted.
