Tirupati Laddu Controversy: Allegations that the ghee used to make Tirupati laddu was adulterated have once again led to a political row in Andhra Pradesh. CM Chandrababu Naidu's serious allegation that the previous Jagan government had made laddus using ghee mixed with bathroom cleaning chemicals has led to an uproar. Hyderabad, February 7: The world-famous Tirupati Thimmappa's laddu controversy continues. Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu has made a serious allegation that Tirupati laddus were being made using ghee mixed with chemicals used to clean bathrooms and toilets. Addressing a passbook distribution program in Yammiganur assembly constituency, he lashed out at the previous YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government. They have used ghee made from bathroom cleaning chemicals in the laddus. They have made explosive allegations that they have thereby tarnished the sanctity of the prasad of the holy Tirumala temple and the dignity of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. They have been cheating like this for about 5 years. Adulteration of ghee is a great sin against God. I will not leave anyone involved in this case alone, Naidu has said. He has alleged that chemical-laced ghee was used in the preparation of laddus. This was done for about five years during the YSRCP regime. He has alleged that similar adulterated ghee was also supplied to the Srisailam temple during the same period. Various types of chemicals were used in the ghee used to prepare laddus. Naidu said that this may have been done because vegetable-based products are more expensive and animal fat is cheaper. Quoting a report by the National Dairy Development Board, he said that the report revealed that it contained animal fat. Slanderous propaganda about Tirupati laddu: Jagan retaliates Jagan Mohan Reddy, responding to Chandrababu Naidu's allegations, said that now the coalition government is running a jungle raj. They are spreading false propaganda about Tirumala laddu. He has vowed to expose all this. Actress and former minister Roja is furious over the allegations against Jagan. Jagan is like Bahubali. No matter how much conspiracy he makes, nothing can happen to him. He has been targeted, she said. Overall, the Tirupati laddu issue has caused a serious political controversy in Andhra Pradesh.
