TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh accused YCP leaders of rampant corruption during their tenure, alleging that the donation money was misappropriated for real estate investments. TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh shared purported CCTV footage on X, claiming it shows the large-scale loot of Lord Venkateswara’s sacred offerings. He further accused former TTD Chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy of facilitating the scam and claimed that “shares of the loot” reached Tadepalli Palace, the residence of then CM Jagan.
A massive political storm has erupted in Andhra Pradesh after the TDP alleged that over Rs 100 crore was looted from the parakamani (donation box) of the sacred Tirumala temple during the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress Party regime. TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh shared purported CCTV footage on X, claiming it shows the large-scale loot of Lord Venkateswara’s sacred offerings.
“YCP thieves have looted the sacred property of Lord Venkateswara. YCP leaders are behind the ‘hundred crore Parakamani theft’. During Jagan’s five-year rule, corruption reigned supreme. Anarchy ran rampant. Jagan turned Andhra Pradesh into a haven for thieves, looters, and mafia dons. The Jagan gang plundered mines, lands, forests, and all resources, along with exploiting the people… and in the end, they did not even spare the sacred property of Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala,” Nara Lokesh alleged in his post.
He further accused former TTD Chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy of facilitating the scam and claimed that “shares of the loot” reached Tadepalli Palace, the residence of then CM Jagan. Lokesh alleged that the stolen temple funds were diverted into real estate investments, and attempts were made to bury the case in a Lok Adalat.
“The accused themselves are saying that shares of this loot reached from Bhumana in Tirupati to Tadepalli Palace. The offerings and donations placed in the hundi by devotees worldwide with great faith, worth hundreds of crores, were stolen by Ravikumar, while Bhumana Karunakar Reddy was the TTD Chairman. His associates even tried to settle this case in a Lok Adalat,” he claimed.

The leader demanded a full probe into the allegations, calling it a betrayal of devotees worldwide, and cited the previous controversy surrounding the alleged adulteration of laddus at the Tirupati temple.
“With the backing of power, Jagan’s gang committed every possible offence against Lord Venkateswara. They adulterated the sacred laddus, considered mahaprasadam by devotees. They corrupted the anna prasadam. They sold Tirumala darshan tickets, making it nearly impossible for common devotees to have darshan of the Lord,” Nara Lokesh alleged.
