Putting A Lid On Controversy Over Christian Appointee To TTD Board, Government Drops Her From The Post
Gopurams of Tirumala Venkateswara Temple
Seeking to end the controversy over a Christian MLA being appointed to the board of the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam, the Chandrababu Naidu-led state government today (27 April) decided to drop her from the post, reports The Hindu. Anitha, the MLA in question was appointed on 20 April.
The video went viral on social media, following which opposition parties demanded that Naidu sack her. However, on Sunday (22 April), she wrote to Naidu herself asking to be dropped as she didn’t want to cause embarrassment to the government and also claimed that she was a Hindu belonging to a Scheduled Caste.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
