The ongoing controversy surrounding the sacred Tirupati laddu has intensified, with various political parties and religious groups weighing in. The BJP has called for Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy to declare his faith before entering the Tirumala temple, amidst accusations of adulteration involving animal fats in the iconic prasadam. Jagan Reddy's planned visit to the temple on September 28 has further heightened tensions, with police enforcing Section 30 to maintain order. Meanwhile, the YSR Congress and the opposition TDP have exchanged heated remarks, as claims of animal fat in the laddus have ignited widespread public outrage. Despite the controversy, over 1.6 million laddus continue to be sold within a week, indicating the enduring legacy of the sacred offering. Various political leaders have called for investigations, and a SIT has been appointed to probe the matter, while the temple trust has assured the sanctity of the prasadam after issuing a complaint against the supplier involved in the scandal.
