YS Sharmila Demands CBI Probe into Tirumala Laddu Controversy
YS Sharmila Seeks CBI Investigation into Tirumala Laddu Prasadam Claims
The recent allegations made by AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu have sparked significant controversy. Naidu accused the YSR Congress Party (YCP) of using animal fat in the preparation of the Tirumala Laddu Prasadam. This claim has deeply upset religious groups, especially those with pro-Hindu beliefs. YS Sharmila calls for a CBI probe on Chandrababu Naidu’s allegations about animal fat in Tirumala Laddu Prasadam, intensifying the debate.
Chandrababu Naidu’s Controversial Claims
Naidu’s accusation against the YCP has caused an uproar. He claimed that the Tirumala Laddu, one of the holiest offerings, was tainted with animal fat instead of ghee. His remarks have raised concerns among Hindu devotees.
In response, YV Subbareddy, the former chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), dismissed the claims. He challenged Naidu to provide evidence to back his allegations.
YS Sharmila Response: CBI Probe Needed
Taking a firm stance on the issue, YS Sharmila, the AP Congress Chief, demanded a thorough CBI investigation into the matter. She criticized both TDP and YCP for engaging in what she described as “dirty politics” at the cost of religious sanctity.
On her social media platform, she stated, “The TDP and YCP are playing dangerous games to tarnish the reputation of Tirumala. Chandrababu Naidu’s claims are damaging and hurt the faith of millions of devotees.”
Congress Leader’s Challenge
Sharmila called on Naidu to either prove his allegations or retract them. “If you truly believe in what you said, initiate a CBI investigation and form a high-level committee to uncover the truth,” she urged. Sharmila emphasized that the truth must come out, and those responsible should be held accountable.
What’s Next in the Controversy?
The call for a CBI investigation places both TDP and YCP under pressure. The next move lies with Chandrababu Naidu—will he follow through on his claims and demand an official inquiry? With religious sentiment deeply intertwined, this controversy may take a more serious turn.
