Controversy
There have been suspicions voiced by Hindu groups over the alleged biases held by YSR. They say that Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy has used his position to bring Christian institutions into the decision making loop of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, which governs Hinduism's most visited shrine and that he may even be facilitating a church to be built on the holy hills of Tirumula. Suspicions were aroused due to a sudden proliferation of churches along the roads leading to the holy shrine and a recent auction of Hindu temple land in Tirumula being hastily called off when it became known that Christian groups were attempting to make a bid.
Reddy belongs to a Protestant evangelical organization. As he belongs to Indian National Congress (INC) whose chief is Roman Catholic Sonia Gandhi, right wing Hindu organisations believe that he is trying to destory the Hindu religion and Hindu holy places in Andhra Pradesh.
