Hyderabad: The blame game and bickering over the Tirupati laddoos controversy continued on Sunday, with Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy calling chief minister N Chandrababu a “pathological liar”.

In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former chief minister blasted Chandrababu and accused him of hurting the beliefs of crores of people for “political objectives.”

The YSR Congress Party chief wrote that the entire country is looking at the Prime Minister and it is imperative that Chandrababu be “reprimanded in the severest way for his shameless act of spreading lies.”

Jagan has demanded that the “truth be brought to light” to allay suspicions created in the minds of crores of Hindu devotees.

Mr Naidu’s TDP swept the Andhra polls this year and paved the way for Mr Reddy’s exit as Chief Minister. TDP is also a key ally of the BJP at the Centre and its support is critical to NDA’s majority in Lok Sabha after the BJP suffered a setback in this general election.

Chandrababu claimed three days ago that animal fat and sub-standard ingredients were used to prepare the laddoos which are offered as prasadam at Tirupati temple.

A Gujarat-based lab confirmed that the laddoo samples which it tested contained beef fat and fish oil.

Even as the Union Health ministry asked for a detailed report and Chandrababu announced a cleansing process across all temples in Andhra, Jagan Reddy said the CM was trying to “irreparably tarnish the sanctity, integrity and reputation of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams”, and warned this could have far-reaching consequences.

“Sir, Mr Chandrababu Naidu a pathological and habitual liar has stooped so low as to seriously hurt the beliefs of crores of people purely for political objectives. His actions have indeed lowered not only the stature of a Chief Minister but also that of everyone in public life and also the sanctity of the world renowned TTD and its practices. Sir, the entire Country looks to you at this crucial juncture. It is very imperative that Mr. Naidu be reprimanded in severest way for his shameless act of spreading lies and the truth be brought to light,” Jagan wrote.

“Sir, this would help allay the suspicions that Mr Naidu has created in the minds of crores of Hindu devotees and restore their faith in the sanctity of the TTD,” he appealed to the PM.
