IT Minister Gudivada Amarnath's Fury Leads to Transfer of Two Temple Officials!

The AP IT Minister, Gudivada Amarnath, who has been making frequent appearances in the news lately, has once again made headlines. On Sunday, the Minister visited the renowned Nukalamma temple in Anakapalle, ahead of the month-long festival known as Nookalamma Jathara, which is set to commence from Tuesday. Unfortunately, Minister Amarnath's visit to the temple was marred by an unpleasant experience. Reportedly, the Minister had to wait for 45 minutes to have Nookalamma Darshan, as he arrived during the break-time. As per the temple's customs, during Naivedyam to the deity, the Goddess's Darshan is halted for everyone. The Minister was deeply upset that he was not informed about the Darshan timings in advance. Feeling frustrated and angry, the Minister reportedly brought the matter to the attention of senior officials in the Endowment department. Consequently, the department has taken action against the two officials responsible for the incident, and issued transfer orders to them. Incharge officer Buddha Nagesh and Nookalamma temple Secretary Chandrasekhar have both been reportedly transferred. In addition, Superintendent S Rajarao has been reportedly given the additional responsibility of Anakapalle district Endowment incharge, while Visakha Vaibhava Venkateswara temple EO Bandaru Prasad has been reportedly assigned the duty of managing Nookalamma temple.
