Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 20 (ANI): After Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the previous YSRCP government had used animal fat in Tirupati Prasadam, President of BJP OBC Morcha K Laxman demanded legal action on Thursday.
Speaking with ANI, K Laxman said that the feeling of Hindu community has been hurt.
“It is most unfortunate. The feelings of the Hindu community have been hurt very badly… The entire Hindu community all over the world condemns the action of the then govt. We demand the present Chandrababu-led NDA govt to take firm legal action against the officials and persons concerned who hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community,” Laxman said.
After CM’s Naidu allegation, TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy on Thursday shared a copy of the lab report and alleged that “beef tallow and animal fat–lard and fish oil–were used in the preparation of ghee, which was supplied to Tirumala.”
TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy said on Thursday that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu “had stated yesterday that animal fat was used as one of the ingredients for the preparation of ghee, which was supplied to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam.”
“The lab reports of samples which were sent for testing to National Dairy Development Board in Gujarat certify that beef tallow, animal fat, lard, and fish oil were used in the preparation of ghee which was supplied to Tirumala and also the S value is only 19.7…This is an affront to Hindu religion…The ‘prasadam’ which is offered to the Lord thrice a day has been mixed with this ghee,” Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy alleged.
“We hope that justice will be done and Lord Govind will forgive us for whatever mistakes that have been committed,” he added.
Chandrababu Naidu made a startling allegation on Wednesday and alleged that the previous YSR Congress-led by Jagan Mohan Reddy had used animal fat in consecrated sweets–‘Tirupati Prasadam’ instead of ‘Ghee’ at Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati.
In a post on X, Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh shared a video clip of his father, CM Naidu, addressing a gathering and wrote, “The Lord Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Tirumala is our most sacred temple. I am shocked to learn that the ysjagan administration used animal fat instead of ghee in the Tirupati Prasadam.”
“Shame on ysjagan and the ysrcparty government that couldn’t respect the religious sentiments of crores of devotees,” he said. (ANI)
