Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Rajnikanth Patel has promised Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to allot suitable land for the construction of Lord Venkateswara temple in Ahmedabad.

The TTD trust board members and the board chairman YV Subba Reddy along with governing council member Ketan Desai met CM Patel here on Monday.

The TTD delegates presented Srivari prasadam to the chief minister and felicitated him with a shawl. During an interaction, YV Subba Reddy briefed the Gujarat CM about the initiatives taken by the religious board to propagate Sanatan Hindu dharma across the country under the leadership of AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

It may be recalled here that the TTD board had passed a resolution recently to construct at least one replica temple of Lord Venkateswara in every state and Union Territory across the country.
