This, sources claimed, is to avoid any unnecessary controversy of inauguration of pujas before Mahalaya.
This year the theme of the puja at Sreebhumi is Venkateswara temple of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, which was in the news recently for its laddoos, which had traces of animal fat, lab tests had shown and was flagged by chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu.
Nabanna sources also claimed that on Tuesday, the chief minister might also inaugurate at least three fire service centers in the state from Sreebhumi.
