Devotees' complaint at Srikalahasti: Nara Lokesh responds sharply.

A devotee lodged a complaint regarding an incident that took place at the Sri Kalahasteeswara Temple. This complaint was brought to the attention of Nara Lokesh, leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Andhra Pradesh Minister for Information, Technology, and Communications. According to the complaint, devotees who were standing in the queue were allegedly denied the temple's prasad (holy offering) and were sent away. This incident sparked controversy. A devotee, who had faced difficulties in receiving the prasad while in the queue, tagged Lokesh on the social media platform X, bringing the issue to his attention. Responding swiftly, Lokesh clarified that any actions that hurt the sentiments of devotees would not be tolerated.

In response to the incident at Srikalahasti, Lokesh also accused some staff members of continuing to work in the temple due to the influence of the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government's policies. He warned that strict action would be taken against those involved in such behavior. Lokesh demanded an immediate investigation and warned that anyone denying prasad to devotees standing in the queue would face severe consequences. He also tagged the Minister for Endowments, urging for appropriate measures to be taken.

Minister Nara Lokesh’s strong response to the incident of denying prasad to devotees at Sri Kalahasteeswara Temple, along with tagging the Endowments Minister and requesting action, appears to be aimed at restoring the trust of devotees in the government machinery. It remains to be seen whether the government will take proactive steps to protect the rights of devotees and implement measures to bring greater transparency to temple administration.
