YADAVAS WARN TTD AGAINST MOVE TO FELL GOLLA MANDAPAM
The All India Yadav Mahasabha secretary-general, Mr C Ashok Kumar Yadav, on Saturday warned of stiff resistance if the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam implemented its
decision to demolish the “Golla Mandapam” on the holy Seven Hills.
Speaking to mediapersons here, Mr Yadav took serious objection to the TTD Board’s decision to fell down the Golla Mandapam stating that it would hurt the religious sentiments of the Yadava community all over the country.
Mr Ashok Kumar Yadav said that the TTD Board members should remember the fact that the temple of Sri Venkateswara as well as the Golla Mandapam was built by the Yadavas alone. “It was atrocious that while the Endowments Minister proposed felling of Golla Mandapam at Tirumala, the TTD Board took a decision to implement the proposal on Friday. If the TTD Board goes ahead with its decision, the Yadavas would resist appropriately and the government would alone be responsible for the dire consequences,” he warned. He also disclosed that the Yadavas would launch an agitation all over the State on the issue.
