Chandrababu Naidu’s Allegation: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has accused the previous Jagan Mohan government of mixing animal fat in the Laddu Prasadam of Tirupati temple.
Chandrababu said on Wednesday (September 18) – In the last 5 years, YSR Congress Party leaders tarnished the sanctity of Tirumala. They compromised the quality of ‘Annadanam’ (free food).
Even the sacred laddus of Tirumala used animal fat instead of ghee. However, now we are using pure ghee in the prasadam. We are working hard to protect the sanctity of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD).

YSR Congress leader said- Chandrababu hurt the sentiments of Hindus
At the same time, senior YSR Congress Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP YV Subba Reddy said that Chandrababu Naidu has committed a big sin by hurting the holy temple of Tirumala and the faith of crores of Hindus. Chandrababu’s comments on Tirumala Prasadam are highly condemnable. No human being can make such allegations.
He further said that this has once again proved that Chandrababu does not hesitate to do anything bad for political gains. To strengthen the faith of the devotees, I and my family are ready to take oath with God as witness in the matter of Tirumala Prasad. Is Chandrababu also ready to take oath with his family?
