"VIP & DONOR DARSHAN PASSES" ABOLISHED IN SHIRDI

People with Influence and VIPs will soon not get any Preferential Treatment at Shirdi’s Sai Baba Temple, Siddhi-Vinayak Temple or any of the Temples that are run by the State.

The VIP visits had irked thousands of other devotees who have to patiently wait their turn in the long lines. And, after receiving a string of complaints from the public, the Maharashtra government has decided to abolish VIP passes that enable speedy darshan.

Law and Judiciary Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil on Thursday told that a Government Resolution is in the pipeline that will Abolish VIP and Donor Darshan Passes, and make it mandatory for all Devotees at any of the 3,067 State-run Temples to stand in a single Queue.
The list also includes Kolhapur’s Mahalaxmi Temple and the Pandharpur Temple.

Around 30,000 people visit Siddhivinayak daily & the number exceeds 2.5 lakh on Tuesdays and other important dates. Only 10 per cent of the devotees get to use the separate queue and get darshan in five minutes.

“It’s not fair that people are made to wait because they are not donors or don’t have influence,” said Vikhe-Patil, adding that the state will take action against erring committees. He did not specify what it would do.

The Minister laid the precedent on Wednesday by announcing that no VIP Passes will be issued at the Vitthala Rukmini Temple in Pandharpur, where an 18-day pilgrimage trek will end on July 21.

Senior Citizens, Pregnant Women, and Parents with children, however will be given Direct Entry. The devotees have also welcomed the decision.

For the VIPs, though, it looks like it will be a long wait from now on.
