The Tirupati Temple Devasthanam (TTD) board was yet again in a soup after an allegedly doctored video of the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Payakaraopeta, Vangalpudi Anitha who was recently nominated to the temple board went viral.

The video, which hit social media soon after the state government issued an order appointing 17 members to the trust board, has the MLA saying, “I always have a Bible in my bag and in my car. I don’t move out without the Bible in hand.”

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) N Chandrababu Naidu drew severe flak from different quarters including devotees, different Hindu groups, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the YSR Congress for nominating the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, as a member of the governing body of the Tirupati Balaji temple.
