The newly constituted 11 member Trust Board of Tirumala Tirupati

Devasthanams (TTD) which administers the affairs of the famous hill

shrine of Lord Venkateswara, richest in India, at Tirumala near here was

sworn in today.

 

 

 

The Hill Temple Executive Officer, Mr. A.P.V.N.Sarma, in his capacity as

member secretary of the body has administered oath of office and secrecy

to the Board's Chairman, Mr. B. Karunakara Reddy, a close confidant

of the Andhrapradesh Chief Minister, Dr. Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy and nine

other trustees of the Board.

 

 

 

Mr. N.Subramanyam MLA, who could not attend and take the oath as trustee

(member) due to ill health and would be taking the oath next week,

temple sources said.

 

 

 

The names of the trustees who took the oath were Tirupati based business

magnate and also a close family friend of former Prime Minister, Mr.

H.D. Deve Gowda, Mr. O.V.Ramana, MLAs Mr Janga Krishnamurthy, Mr.

Sudarshan Reddy, noted industrialist Mr. R.P.Goenka , Mr. Vijay Sai

Reddy, Mr. Gokaraju Ramaraju, Dr. Chadalawada Sudha, Mr. N.Srinivasan

and Mrs. T.Indira Reddy, wife of former TTD Board Chairman,

Dr.T.Subbirami Reddy, Union Minister of State for Mines.

 

 

 

What surprised everyone in the temple was that Mrs. T.Indira Reddy, for

the reasons unknown, has created history by taking the oath alone two

hours in advance in the morning and left the temple before the Chairman

and other members could reach the shrine for taking the oath of office

and secrecy, temple sources added.
