"tirupati-laddu"

Temple body says it has come across sub-standard ghee and presence of lard in samples tested for quality, echoing claims first made by Naidu

This is a diversion politics. The allegations are atrocious. Is it fair to play with devotees sentiments, expressed YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy

Amid the controversy over ghee adulteration in Tirupati laddu prasadam, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan responded on X to a post by an organization’s Hindu IT Cell calling for action against the culprits, assuring that stringent measures will be taken.

Says this type of tempering with the sentiments of Hindus has been done deliberately for a long time

Says the previous govt served substandard food to devotees to not only undermine its holiness but also hurt their sentiments

Asserts that pure ghee was now being used and everything has been sanitised at the temple, leading to improved quality

We have decided that henceforth devotees, who do not have darshan tokens can register their Aadhaar card at the laddu counters and get two laddus, TTD Additional EO Ch Venkaiah Chowdhary said.
