CM Naidu has decided to form a special investigation team to investigate the alleged irregularities and the presence of animal fat in the laddus distributed as prasadam at Tirupati Balaji temple. Through a press conference, Naidu told the media that we are forming a special investigation team. The SIT will investigate the matter in depth and submit a report to us, so that the culprits can be punished and any such incident can be avoided in the future.
Apart from this, the CM announced to start a cleaning campaign for all the temples in the state soon. The CM accused the previous government and said that many irregularities have happened during their rule. Our government will clean that system. He said that many non-holy things have been done in Tirumala in the last five years, we will investigate them and clean them. Addressing the media at his party office, Naidu said that cleaning is necessary after whatever has happened in the temples. He said that after the allegations of adulteration of Tirupati laddus with animal fat, the government will consult saints, priests and other top experts of Hinduism about its next steps.
Along with this, CM Naidu alleged that his previous Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy used temples for his political gain and appointed his close ones to high positions in the temple trusts.
This matter came into the limelight when CM Naidu accused the previous government and said that during their rule, animal fat was used in the prasad distributed in Tirupati temple. To prove his point, the Chief Minister also presented the report of a lab in Gujarat which said that during the rule of YSR Congress, traces of animal fat were found in the prasad of Tirupati temple.
