Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has announced the formation of a special investigation team to probe the ghee procurement for Tirupati laddu. An audit of raw material procurement for all temples in the state has also been ordered.

Reddy pointed out that the ghee of questionable quality was not used to prepare the laddus, as insinuated by the Chief Minister, and emphasised the robust system in place at TTD for several decades to ensure that adulterated ingredients are not used.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has vowed to initiate a "cleansing process" across all temples in the state following allegations of animal fat being used in Tirupati laddus. This move aims to respect religious sentiments and restore the sanctity of temples.

This comes after Naidu and the TDP alleged that during the previous YSRCP government, ingredients such as beef tallow, lard, and fish oil were used in the preparation of Tirumala laddus.

Chandrababu Naidu vowed to take appropriate action in the Tirupati laddus controversy after consultations with religious leaders from the Hindu community.

In the letter, the Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Naidu's "reckless" and "politically motivated" statements hurt the sentiments of devotees and "tarnished the sanctity" of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board.

YSR Congress chief alleged that CM Chandrababu Naidu has stooped so low as to hurt the beliefs of crores of people purely for political objectives.

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu's allegations regarding animal fat in Tirumala laddus. Naidu's claims have led to significant public outcry among devotees.

Amid controversy over Tirupati Laddu Prasadam, advocate K. Karuna Sagar expressed shock at lab reports confirming the use of low-quality ghee containing beef, pork, and fish oil, claiming it attacks Hindu sentiments.
