Tirupati Laddoos News
The controversy began when Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu raised concerns based on a report from NDDB (National Dairy Development Board), which suggested that the ghee used at the temple was not pure.
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.
The Tirupati Laddoo scandal not only threatens the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus but also raises questions about those responsible for overseeing the temple.
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.
The row over the Tirupati laddoos erupted after Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu alleged that animal fat was used in making the famous Tirupati laddoos. He also demanded stern action against those involved in it.
