\"Tirupati<\/div>\n
Union Food Minister Prahlad Joshi on Friday sought a thorough investigation into allegations of presence of animal fat<\/a> in Tirupathi’s prasad.<\/p>\n

“Whatever the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said is a very serious matter, it should be investigated in detail and whoever is guilty should be punished,” he told ANI. <\/p>\n

The ruling Telugu Desam Party on Thursday claimed that the adulteration has been confirmed by a Gujarat-based livestock laboratory. TDP<\/a> spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy in a press conference displayed the purported lab report which apparently confirmed the presence of “beef tallow<\/a>” in the given ghee sample.<\/p>\n

The purported lab report also claimed the presence of “lard” (relating to pig fat) and fish oil in the samples. The sample receipt date was July 9, 2024 and the lab report was dated July 16.<\/p>\n

Andhra Chief Minister and TDP supemo N Chandrababu Naidu had on Wednesday alleged the previous YSRCP government had used substandard ingredients and animal fat in making Tirupati laddu<\/a>, a consecrated sweet. <\/p>\n


Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan on Friday also said that he is deeply disturbed with the findings of the lab report that has confirmed animal fat like fish oil, pork fat and beef fat in Tirumala’s laddu prasadam.”We are all deeply disturbed with the findings of animal fat (fish oil, pork fat and beef fat) mixed in Tirupathi Balaji Prasad. Many questions to be answered by the TTD board constituted by YCP Govt then. Our Govt is committed to take stringent action possible. But, this throws light on many issues surrounding desecration of temples,its land issues and other dharmic practices,” Kalyan said in a post on X. The allegation has been vehemently denied by the opposition YSR Congress Party.<\/p>\n

Jagan Mohan Reddy moves HC<\/h2>\n

Lawyers representing the YSRCP mentioned to High Court bench against allegations made by Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu regarding the Tirumala Laddu prasadam.<\/p>\n

The lawyer requested that either a sitting judge or a committee appointed by the High Court investigate the claims made by Chief Minister, who alleged that animal fat was mixed in the prasadam. The bench suggested that a PIL be filed by Wednesday, September 25 stating that the arguments would be heard on that day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
