YSRCP Chief and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging swift action against the baseless allegations made by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu regarding the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
In the letter, the YSRCP chief strongly condemned Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for spreading malicious propaganda about the purity of the ghee used in the preparation of the sacred Tirumala Laddu, a prasadam cherished by millions of Hindu devotees across the globe. He pointed out that CM Naidu’s reckless and politically motivated statements have hurt the sentiments of devotees and tarnished the sanctity of the world-renowned TTD.
He emphasized the robustness of the long-standing procurement processes and quality checks in place at TTD to ensure that only the highest quality ingredients are used in preparing the prasadam. He provided details about the strict e-tendering process, NABL-accredited lab tests, and the multi-level checks that are conducted before any material is used, highlighting that even during the TDP regime, similar measures were in place.
He expressed concerns over the harm these allegations could cause to the reputation of TTD and the faith of millions of devotees. He urged Prime Minister Modi to reprimand Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for his actions and brings the truth to light, restoring the trust and faith of the devotees.
This letter comes in light of the completion of 100 days of the new government, during which Chandrababu Naidu made the controversial remarks at a political meeting, two months after the ghee tanker in question was rejected by TTD’s rigorous quality control system. YS Reddy reiterated that the former Chief Minister’s baseless claims are nothing short of an attempt to divert attention from the failures of his government and to further his political agenda.
The YSRCP Chief requested PM Modi’s intervention to protect the sanctity of the Tirumala temple and to prevent any further damage to the sentiments of devotees.
