Advocate K. Karuna Sagar has alleged that the previous YSRCP government used 'animal fat' in the Laddu Prasadam offered at Tirumala Temple in Tirupati, calling it an attack on Hindu sentiments and a "conspiracy."
Advocate Karuna Sagar expressed his shock, stating, "The Laddu Prasadam offered at Tirupati is world-famous for its divinity, sanctity, and quality. I was shocked and surprised after seeing the lab reports confirming that low-quality ghee used in making the Laddu Prasadam contained beef, pork, and fish oil. This is an attack on Hindu sentiments... This is a conspiracy." Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan had claimed that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board was "altered for political gain" by the previous government. "Prasadam distribution has been ongoing for over 100 years. But under YSRCP's rule, the TTD board was altered for political purposes. The Sri Venkateswara Trust was established, leading to various scams. Worship protocols were changed, and over 300 temples were desecrated," Kalyan said. He further alleged that Ayodhya received 'contaminated' laddus from the TTD during the YSRCP regime. "I question whether authorities are following protocols in all temples. Fish oil, beef tallow, and pork fat have been found in prasadam. Even Ayodhya received contaminated laddus from TTD during the YSRCP regime," Kalyan said. "During the YSRCP regime, 219 temples were destroyed. I raised concerns about the vandalism of these temples. We will not tolerate this, and strict action will be taken. What has the TTD board done in the past five years? Hindu devotees must speak out. What was once sacred has been desecrated. The guilty must face punishment," Kalyan added. The controversy follows recent claims by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who alleged that substandard ingredients, including animal fat, were used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus during the previous Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government.
