TTD Laddo has always been popular for various reasons. But it lost the aroma and glamour in the regime of YSRC led by Jagan Mohan Reddy. The sanctity of TTD was spoiled during the regime of Chiarmans appointed by Jagan.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has made a startling claim that Animal fat was used to make Tirupati laddoos under the previous government run by the YSR Congress.

The YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led party has rubbished the allegation and termed it malicious.

Addressing an NDA legislative party meeting Babu said animal fat was used to make the sought-after laddoos given as ‘prasad’ by the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati under the Jagan Reddy government.The temple is managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

“In the past 5 years, YSR Congress party leaders have tarnished the sanctity of Tirumala. They compromised on the quality of free meals and even contaminated the sacred Tirumala Laddu by using animal fat instead of ghee.

This revelation has caused concern. However, we are now using pure ghee. We are striving to protect the sanctity of the TTD,” Babu said.

“Chandrababu Naidu has severely damaged the sanctity of Tirumala and the faith of crores of Hindus. His comments about the Tirumala prasadare extremely malicious. No person would speak such words or make such accusations, Reddy wrote on X
