Vishnuvardhan Reddy praises TTD, urges aid for small temples

• BJP State VP Vishnvardhan Reddy praised TTD's initiative to build new temples in backward areas and its Vaikunta Ekadasi arrangements for common devotees.
• Reddy expressed concern over many small temples in Andhra Pradesh lacking maintenance and falling into disrepair.
• He urged the TTD board to discuss the issue of small temples and suggested training and financially supporting locals for their management.

Why It Matters: TTD's religious preservation role is incomplete without aiding neglected small temples.
