Many people are coming forward and expressing their views amid the fierce controversy unfolding across the country over the Tirumala Laddu.
However, it is surprising that the key figure in this issue, former TTD in-charge EO Dharma Reddy, has remained silent.
Dharma Reddy's management style at TTD has brought criticism upon the YCP government. Even his own supporters have criticized his conduct.
Despite the ongoing controversy, YCP leaders are complaining that he is hiding in Hyderabad, refusing to clarify his stance.
Dharma Reddy, who appeared to be popular in Tirumala over the past five years, is now facing criticism for not defending the YCP during this crucial time.
When Chandrababu raised serious allegations regarding Tirumala Prasadam, it was Dharma Reddy's responsibility to respond.
It is odd that, even though his name has come up, he has not made any statement. He seems to fear that the current government might cause trouble if he speaks out against them.
After the coalition government took charge, a special investigation was conducted at TTD by the vigilance department, and a report was submitted to the government. There are reports suggesting irregularities in that investigation.
There is speculation that Chandrababu is determined to send Dharma Reddy to jail. TDP leaders claim that Dharma Reddy is worried about this possibility.
It is known that ministers and Alliance leaders have been fiercely attacking TTD activities during the YCP regime.
The question arises as to why Dharma Reddy, who served as a senior official at TTD for five years, has not responded.
Former TTD EO IYR Krishna Rao responded as a former officer, stating that he does not believe Chandrababu's allegations. YCP leaders are questioning why Dharma Reddy does not show the same courage.
They are criticizing him for remaining silent despite having been the TTD chief and allegedly contributing to the YCP's image problems in various ways.
After losing power, YCP leaders are frustrated that Dharma Reddy has not countered Chandrababu's criticisms. Even now, YCP leaders feel they need to push him to speak out.
