Tirupati Laddoos controversy News
On Monday, the Tirumala temple underwent a four-hour-long "ritualistic sanitation" known as the Shanti Homam Panchagavya Prokshana.
Das expressed outrage over the alleged discovery of animal fat in ghee used to prepare ‘prasad’ (laddoos) of Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in AP’s Tirupati temple.
Reacting to the Tirupati laddu issue, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stated that the TDP is "politicising religious matters."
The prasadam is traditionally made with pure cow ghee, and the controversy has raised concerns about why the supply of the famous Nandini ghee for the temple was halted last year.
The ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) claimed that a Gujarat-based livestock laboratory confirmed the adulteration of ghee samples provided by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
