Tirupati Laddus Controversy: Centre Seeks Clarification From Andhra Pradesh Government On TDP Allegations

Date:

In the wake of claims made by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) regarding the use of non-vegetarian ingredients in the preparation of the sacred Tirupati laddus, the Union government has called for a comprehensive report from the Andhra Pradesh government. Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda has expressed concern and initiated an inquiry into the allegations, which have sparked a significant political and religious controversy.

 Allegations of Impurity in Sacred Prasadam

The controversy began when TDP leader and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu accused the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) administration of using “beef tallow,” “lard” (pig fat), and fish oil in place of pure ghee to prepare the laddus at the revered Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati. Naidu’s accusations were particularly incendiary, as the Tirupati laddus are not merely sweets but are considered divine prasadam, holding immense religious significance for millions of devotees.

During a public gathering, Naidu articulated his concerns, declaring that the YSRCP government, led by Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, had allegedly replaced ghee with animal fats in the laddus, a claim that sent shockwaves across religious communities. Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh amplified these accusations by sharing a video clip of his father’s speech and expressing his own outrage, labeling the actions of the YSRCP government as “shocking.”

 The Central Government’s Response

In response to these allegations, Union Health Minister Nadda stated that he had personally spoken with Naidu and sought further details on the matter. Nadda emphasized that he has requested a full report from the Andhra Pradesh government to scrutinize the TDP’s claims. “I have asked Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to share the available report so that we can examine it in light of food safety standards,” Nadda said during a briefing. He further assured that appropriate action would be taken after the investigation, signaling the gravity with which the Union government is treating these allegations.

YSRCP’s Fierce Denial

As the accusations stirred public sentiment, the YSR Congress Party swiftly responded, vehemently rejecting Naidu’s claims. B. Karunakar Reddy, former chairperson of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the governing body of the temple, accused Naidu of manufacturing baseless allegations for political gain. In an interview with a regional news channel, Reddy described Naidu’s claims as “sacrilegious,” stating that they were part of a “deplorable experiment” aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the YSRCP and its leader, Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Reddy, who oversaw TTD operations during the period in question, staunchly defended the integrity of the laddus’ preparation process, maintaining that all food safety standards had been adhered to. He condemned Naidu’s accusations as politically motivated and disrespectful to the temple’s sanctity, arguing that such allegations serve only to erode public trust in religious institutions.

Political Firestorm

The allegations have ignited a political storm in Andhra Pradesh, with both the TDP and the YSRCP entrenched in a fierce war of words. Naidu’s claims strike at the heart of the religious sensitivities surrounding the Tirupati temple, which is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu believed to deliver humanity from the trials of the Kali Yuga. The TDP’s accusations, coupled with the central government’s involvement, have further raised the stakes in the already charged political environment of the state.
