He was presented with sacred prasadam, silk cloth and sacred water in 'Ranganayaka Mandapam' in the temple by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman, K Bapiraju and other top officials of the trust, they said.

The veteran BJP leader arrived at Renigunta airport near here yesterday afternoon.
