The announcement from TDP leader N. Chandrababu Naidu came after he claimed that during the previous government, led by his rival YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, 'laddus' containing 'animal fat' were given as 'prasadam' at the Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati.

This is a diversion politics. The allegations are atrocious. Is it fair to play with devotees sentiments, said YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy

Hyderabad: A 'Samprokshnam' ritual to cleanse and purify the Tirumala temple is on the cards as concerns were raised from Hindus across the globe after it was found that the cow ghee used to make the sacred Tirupati Laddu prasadam was 'adulterated' with animal fat.

వైసిపి ఐదేళ్ల పాలనలో వెంకటేశ్వరస్వామి పవిత్రత, తిరుమల తిరుపతి ప్రతిష్టను ఎంతగా దెబ్బతీశారో ముఖ్యమంత్రి చంద్రబాబు గారి మాటల ద్వారా తెలిసింది. దేవుడి ప్రసాదంలో నెయ్యికి బదులు జంతువుల కొవ్వుని వైయస్ జగన్ మనుషులు వాడారని తెలిసి షాక్‌కి గురయ్యాను. #AndhraPradesh #Tirumala pic.twitter.com/TeVvhpodhz

This is diversionary politics. People are expressing their anger at hundred days of Naidu’s rule, asking what happened to their ‘super six’ (poll promises). To divert people's attention, this story has been concocted.

The Tirupati Laddu is distributed at the revered Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, which is run by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

Reddy called the lab report false and accused TDP leader and CM Chandrababu Naidu of using "faith for politics"

YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy dismissed allegations of ghee adulteration as political diversion, arguing that the claims stem from the previous administration's actions.
