Shame on us Hindus for allowing this to happen. No point in blaming the government, we know how GoI works. GoI just cares for the money the temples generate. Hopefully, this opens the eyes of more Hindus and they actively adopt temples in every nook and corner.
Added: My theory is that Tirupathi temple attracts lot of pilgrims and consequentially money. The popular it gets, more people throng; and slowly other temples and pilgrimage centers dwindle in importance. Temples need to be patronized by devotees and well-wishers. There is no other way, there are no longer Kings and Emperors to take care of the temples, we Hindus have to do it. Whatever we are doing seems to be not sufficient.
