TIRUPATI: The 50 special invitees, who were nominated to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams by the AP government vide GO No. 569, have no idea about their role in the temple body.
They are yet to get any communication from the TTD, and are clueless whether they would be allowed to even take part in the trust board’s meetings.
Nor do they have any idea if they would be formally sworn in as special invitees, as has been the practice in the past.
The government issued four separate orders — GO numbers 213, 245, 568 and 569 — through which the chairman, member trustees, ex-officio members, and two categories of special invitees were nominated to the trust board to manage the affairs of the richest Hindu temple in the world.
In GO No. 569 which dwelt on the special invitees, the order just says that they are to be given privileges on par with members of the TTD trust board regarding darshan.
