Lord Balaji of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam also owe a whopping 241 Crore to Telangana state declared Minister Harish Rao in the state Assembly. He reminded the members that those temples, whose earnings were over Rs. 50,000, had to contribute 5 per cent of the amount towards the Common Good Fund (CGF).
The TTD had to contribute Rs. 576.53 crore to the Endowments Department of the United State since 2003. Harish reminded that according to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, this fund is to be divided between both the states in population ratio and his government will work in the direction to get its share of Rs. 241 crore up to 2013 from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam did not have a Board in place after Telugu Desam government has dissolved all the existing Temple boards after coming to power. Chandrababu is expected to appoint a board for TTD as well as other temples in the state once he returns from the Japan tour. TTD is expected to make a statement on this after the appointment.
