00:00What were the mechanisms you were using?

00:21Yeah, that was it.

00:23Earlier, even one week, ten days before Vaikuntha Ekadasi, we used to display boards all over Tirupati town and Tirumala,

00:32wherever the counters are available, and till what time counters are opening and what time they are closed.

00:39And we used to monitor properly, with proper police protection for each count, at each counter.

00:46That's why we were able to conduct, during the last five years, without any such type of incident.

00:54Lakhs of people were allowed to go and have darshan of Lord Venkateshwara during Vaikuntha Ekadasi, ten days.

01:01And tokens were issued whenever it is totally available in Tirumala.

01:08Because once if you start issuing tokens without any control, people will start piling up at Tirumala hills.

01:17To avoid that only, we started issuing, during our regime only, our government only, during YSRCP government only,

01:24we started issuing this token system.

01:27So that whenever up to 1 lakh people or 80,000 people, 2 lakh people used to issue tokens,

01:34and those people are only allowed to go to climb the hills and have darshan.

01:38Next day, next batch.

01:40Like that we were able to monitor properly and control the total devotional people,

01:50whoever is coming to have darshan.

01:52We had to monitor them properly.

01:54Those efforts were lagging here.

01:57Those efforts, government has totally failed in putting the coordinating effort between TTD officials and police officials.

02:06And police, this government you have been seeing, they have been used for various activities to climb,

02:14to book cases against YSRCP leaders and to deploy protection forces to various other occasions.

02:22Because this is very important.

02:24Lakhs of people, devotees will come to have Lord Venkateshwara darshan.

02:27They should have deployed proper police force here.

02:30That is lagging back.

02:32That's why they should conduct an impartial enquiry,

02:35and whoever is responsible for this type of incident, they should be given proper punishment.

03:11We are informing the families who have lost their children.

03:14Approximately 6 people have died.

03:1630 to 40 more people are being treated with injuries.

03:25We are doing our best to ensure that all of them survive.

03:29Without any inconvenience.

03:31But the incident that happened yesterday is a total government failure.

03:35Without proper police deployment, without proper police force, this type of incident happened.

03:41I can understand this clearly.

03:43When this type of incident happens, the government should immediately compensate the families who have lost their children.

03:50Similarly, the people who have taken treatment should also be compensated.

03:56The government should do it immediately.

03:58Similarly, this incident happened on the first day itself.

04:01Actually, this incident has been going on since last night.

04:07This incident happened just now.

04:09In these 10 days, we should not repeat this type of incident again.

04:13We should take all the measures.

04:15After taking proper security arrangements,

04:17we should conduct a program to give tokens to devotees.

04:20We are requesting the government to take measures.

04:23When our government was in power,

04:26our Prime Minister Jaganmohan Reddy was the Prime Minister.

04:30Even during the corona pandemic,

04:32we have taken strict measures to ensure that the devotees are not inconvenienced.

04:37Not only in the case of Vikundakadasi, but also in the case of Brahmotsava,

04:41these two incidents are the main ones.

04:43In these two incidents, the devotees are affected the most.

04:48So, even if there is a severe corona pandemic,

04:52we should ensure that devotees are not inconvenienced.

04:55We should ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
