IT and MAUD minister KT Rama Rao visited Tirumala and had Vaikunta Uttara Dwara darshan at the Lord Sri Venkateshwara Swamy temple on the occasion of Vaikunta Ekadashi here on Monday. The minister was received at the Renigunta airport by Rajampet MP Mithun Reddy, AP government whip Chevireddy Bhasker Reddy and officials of the AP government on Sunday.
KTR stayed at Tirumala overnight and had the darshan in the wee hours on Monday. While KTR is accorded a grand welcome that transpired for the other minister, Harish Rao is completely different. TTD officials did not follow the Protocol for the Minister and he was deeply hurt with their behavior.
Harish was very angry and refused to go for the Darshan. TTD Board Member and Harish Rao’s Relative, Damodar Rao pacified him and took him to the Darshan. Did AP Government intentionally neglect Harish Rao to please Telangana Chief Minister KCR who appears to be sidelining his nephew for his son? is the question being asked in the Social Media?
Today being Vaikunta Ekadashi, there is a massive rush in Tirumala for the Uttara Dwara Darshanam of the Lord. VIPs influx is also very high which is delaying the darshan of the common pilgrims.
