Kalugotla (Andhra Pradesh): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday alleged that Tirupati laddus (consecrated sweet) were made using ghee that was adulterated with chemicals used to clean bathrooms during the previous YSRCP government.
Addressing a village meeting at Kalugotla in Kurnool district, the Chief Minister alleged that the previous government tried to undermine the prestige of Lord Venkateswara Swamy with adulterated prasadam (consecrated food).
He also alleged that adulterated ghee was supplied to the famous Srisailam Temple during the YSRCP regime.
“Ghee made out of bathroom-cleaning chemicals was used in laddus by them (previous YSRCP government),” claimed Naidu, on the sidelines of a Pattadar Passbook (land documents) distribution programme in Yemmiganur constituency.
According to the Chief Minister, adulterated ghee made with chemicals was used to make laddus for five years.
