New Delhi: Union Health Minister JP Nadda has asked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for a detailed report on allegations there was animal fat in ghee used to make the Tirupati laddoos. The laddoos are ‘prasadam‘ to the deity at the temple and offered to crores of devotees who visit every year.
Food Minister Pralhad Joshi has called for a thorough inquiry. “Whatever the Chief Minister said is a matter of serious concern. A detailed enquiry is required and the culprit should be punished.”
Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party this week cited a July report from a government-run lab in Gujarat that said samples of the ghee used when his rival – YSR Congress Party boss YS Jagan Mohan Reddy – was in power, contained traces of beef tallow, fish oil, and pig fat, or lard.
Chandrababu Naidu and his deputy, Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan, have accused Jagan Mohan Reddy of desecrating the temple and ‘sanatan dharm‘.
