Taking to X, TTD said, "AP CM Sri N. Chandrababu Naidu and Minister for IT, Electronics & Communications Sri Nara Lokesh arrived at Sri Padmavati Rest House. They were welcomed by TTD Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu, EO Sri J. Syamala Rao, Addl. EO Sri Venkaiah Choudary, board members, and officials."

Naidu’s visit to the temple comes amid his ongoing engagements across the state. The Tirumala temple, one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in India, regularly attracts high-profile visitors, including political leaders and dignitaries, seeking divine blessings.

After the darshan, CM reiterated the stance of the government that only Hindus would be employed at Tirupati temple. The CM said, "If individuals from other religions are currently working there (Tirumala temple), they will be relocated to other places without hurting their sentiments."

He also announced the decision of the government to cancel Mumtaz hotel approval.
