In a shocking revelation, Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday accused the previous YSRCP government of using animal fat in making the Tirupati laddu. The party has, however, rejected the claim. The Tirupati laddu is distributed at the revered Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, which is run by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
After the allegations of N Chandrababu Naidu, Andra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh also targeted the Jagan Mohan Reddy government over the issue.
“The Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala is our most sacred temple. I am shocked to learn that the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy administration used animal fat instead of ghee in the Tirupati Prasadam,” he said in a post on X.
Meanwhile, YSRCP termed Naidu’s allegation as “malicious” and said that the TDP supremo would “stoop to any level for political gain”. YSRCP leader and Rajya Sabha member Subba Reddy alleged that Naidu had severely damaged the sanctity of the holy Tirumala and the faith of crores of Hindus with his comments.
“The Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple at Tirumala is our most sacred temple. I am shocked to learn that the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy administration used animal fat instead of ghee in the Tirupati Prasadam,” he said.
