Tirupati Stampede Due to YSRCP Government Decisions : వైఎస్సార్సీపీ పాలనలో తిరుమల పవిత్రతను దెబ్బతీసేలా నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకోవడంతోపాటు శ్రీవారిని సామాన్య భక్తులకు దూరం చేసేలా వ్యవహరించారనే విమర్శలున్నాయి. గత ప్రభుత్వ విధానాలనే కూటమి ప్రభుత్వం కొనసాగించడం. తిరుపతి తొక్కిసలాటకు ప్రధాన కారణమనే అభిప్రాయాలు వ్యక్తమవుతున్నాయి. గతంలో ఏకాదశి, ద్వాదశి రెండు రోజులు మాత్రమే ఉన్న వైకుంఠ ద్వారా దర్శనాన్ని గత వైఎస్సార్సీపీ ప్రభుత్వం 10 రోజులకు పెంచి వైకుంఠ ద్వార దర్శనానికి ఉన్న విశిష్టతను దెబ్బతీసిందన్న విమర్శలు ఉన్నా ప్రస్తుత ప్రభుత్వం అదే విధానాన్ని కొనసాగించింది. గత సర్కార్‌ విధానాలను సమీక్షించి భక్తులకు మెరుగైన రీతిలో దర్శనం కల్పించేలా నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకోవడంలో అధికారుల వైఫల్యం నిండు ప్రాణాలను బలితీసుకొందన్న విమర్శలు వ్యక్తం అవుతున్నాయి.

00:00The number of devotees who visit Tirumala Srivari is increasing day by day.
00:10As the temple is getting more and more crowded,
00:13the number of darsanas is not increasing.
00:16So, the devotees are doing the rituals without any problem.
00:21In the last two decades,
00:24there have been significant changes in the darsana methods and darsana tickets.
00:28In 1991, the number of devotees who visit Tirumala Srivari was more than 32,000.
00:34In 2021, the number of devotees who visit Tirumala Srivari was more than 65,000.
00:38In 2001, Vaikuntham Q Complex 2 was built.
00:44As the number of devotees is increasing,
00:47in 2014, a shed was built in Narayanagiri Udyanavanam.
00:51The devotees who come to Tirumala Srivari Darsanam have taken the necessary decisions according to the situation at that time.
01:08To reduce the waiting time for Tirumala Srivari Darsanam,
01:12the method of Sudarsana Token was introduced in 1999.
01:16For the circulation of Sudarsana Token,
01:18a few TTD centers were set up in Tirupati.
01:21After that, they brought them to all the TTD Kalyana mandapas in all the regions of the country.
01:27Using the changing situation,
01:29in the last month of 2017,
01:33they started the circulation of Sudarsana Token.
01:36As a pilot project, tokens were circulated in 14 districts of Tirumala.
01:40By expanding the SSD method,
01:42tokens were circulated through 109 counters in Tirupati, Tirumala and Galigopuram.
01:48In the absence of COVID-19, SSD counters were closed.
01:51Under normal circumstances,
01:53the YCP government has allowed the circulation of tokens through SSD to 3 TTD centers in Tirupati.
01:58Even after the Kootami government came to power,
02:01it continues to buy them without any compromise on the YCP methods.
02:21Due to the high circulation of Sudarsana Token,
02:25devotees who come to Srivari Darsanam can get Darsanam tickets conveniently.
02:29In the name of money,
02:32the NDA government officials, who are concerned about the problems of ordinary devotees,
02:36are buying the same methods without any compromise and without taking the difficulties of devotees into consideration.
02:42According to the nature of the construction of Srivari temple in Tirumala,
02:4470,000 devotees can visit the temple daily.
02:48Daily, 25,000 special entry tickets,
02:52VIP break,
02:53Srivani, Datalu,
02:55Arjita Sevala tickets,
02:57and other types of Darsanam,
02:58with another 10,000 people,
03:00there will be 35,000.
03:01Along with these,
03:0235,000 to 40,000 ordinary devotees
03:05visit Srivari through Ujjita Darsanam.
03:08In the name of money,
03:10the YCP government has taken decisions
03:12that have caused inconvenience to ordinary devotees.
03:18Srivari Temple in Tirumala
03:31After the Kootami government came into power,
03:33the Chief Minister Chandrababu, who visited Srivari Temple in Tirumala for the first time,
03:37announced that he would start the procession from Tirumala.
03:39Recognizing the shortcomings in the past,
03:41and considering the increased services provided to devotees,
03:44he ordered the authorities to make changes.
03:46The TTD authorities, however,
03:48did not consider the government's policies
03:52to be appropriate for the devotees,
03:53and followed the old policies.
03:55For their political interests,
03:58the YCP officials have arranged
04:02token transfer centers through Vaikunta in Tirupati,
04:06but the current authorities did not care.
04:08Even though they knew that a large number of devotees would come,
04:10they followed the old policies
04:12and joined the procession.
04:14The Chief Minister's visit to Kshetrasthai
04:16has been described as following the old policies.
04:29For the recent incidents,
04:31along with the delay in the police's enforcement,
04:33the decision taken by the TTD authorities
04:35has been criticized as a reason.
04:37Starting from Vaikunta Ekadasi,
04:38the authorities announced that
04:401,27,000 tokens would be transferred for the first three days.
04:43Then, they announced that tokens would be given every other day.
04:46The devotees, who wondered how the situation would be after three days,
04:50have reached Tirupati in large numbers.
04:52Along with the devotees from other regions,
04:54the situation has worsened with the support of locals.
04:57Even with the current incident,
04:59the TTD authorities are trying to take the right decisions
05:01in support of the old policies in Palak Mandali Sabhi.
