  • TDP Vs YSRCP Over Tirupati Laddoo Adulteration; 10 Key Updates On Prasadam Controversy |

    A bitter political fight erupted in Andhra Pradesh after Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that animal fat was used in the preparation of laddoos at the Tirupati temple during the tenure of the previous YSRCP government, led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. 

    During a press conference, the party displayed the purported lab report which apparently confirmed the presence of “beef tallow”, “Lard” and “Fish Oil” in the given ghee sample, according to a report by PTI. 


    The YSRCP has accused Chandrababu Naidu of making ‘heinous allegations’ for political advantage, while the TDP has circulated the lab report to support its claims of adulteration. 


    During an NDA legislative party meeting on Wednesday, Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the previous government, led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, had compromised the sanctity of the Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirupati by using substandard ingredients and animal fat in the preparation of laddoos. 


    Following allegations made by Naidu regarding former CM Reddy and the Tirupati temple prasad, YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP Y.V. Subba Reddy condemned Naidu’s remarks as ‘baseless.’ Subba Reddy stated that Naidu’s comments were aimed at manipulating Hindu sentiments. 



    TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy presented a report by Gujarat-based livestock laboratory in a press conference that confirmed the presence of “beef tallow”, “Lard” and “Fish Oil” in the given ghee sample. 


    The sample receipt was dated July 9, 2024, while the lab report was issued on July 16. 


    However, neither the Andhra Pradesh government nor the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which oversees the Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple, has officially confirmed the lab report, according to PTI. 


    The laboratory, CALF (Centre for Analysis and Learning in Livestock & Food), is a multidisciplinary analytical facility operated by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and located in Anand, Gujarat. 


    On Thursday, Chandrababu Naidu accused the previous YSRCP government of desecrating Tirumala, while also stating that the process of sanitization has already commenced.


    BJP leader and former TTD Board Member Bhanuprakash Reddy condemned the alleged use of animal fat in the Tirupati Prasadam at the Sri Venkateswara Temple. He announced plans to file a complaint against the previous YSRCP government, led by former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy. Reddy asserted that during Jagan’s tenure from 2019 to 2024, the TTD used pure cow ghee for laddu preparation, which was later adulterated. 


    AP Congress Committee president Y.S. Sharmila criticised both the ruling TDP and the opposition YSRCP for engaging in ‘heinous’ politics surrounding the Tirupati laddus. On Thursday, she demanded a CBI probe to determine whether animal fat was indeed used in the preparation of the sweets.

  • TDP-Led Andhra Govt Demolishes YSRCP Headquarters, Ex-CM Jagan Calls It ‘Naidu’s Vendetta Politics’ |

    Municipal authorities razed the YSR Congress Party’s under-construction central headquarters in Tadepalli, Guntur district, early Saturday on allegations that it was illegal. The Mangalagiri-Tadepalli Municipal Corporation (MTMC) began demolition with excavators and bulldozers at around 5:30 a.m. The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) had notified the opposition party about the alleged illegal construction.

    On Friday, the YSRCP filed a petition in the High Court contesting the CRDA office. According to a party spokesperson, the court ordered a halt to all demolition operations, which the YSRCP’s counsel transmitted to the CRDA Commissioner.

    Officials from the CRDA and MTMC stated that the irrigation department’s land was being used to build the YSRCP office. There have been claims that the boatyard land was leased for a nominal sum during the tenure of the former Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP government. Additionally, there were claims that the building was started without first obtaining CRDA and MTMC approval.

    Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, former chief minister and YSRCP president, has attacked the TDP-led government’s actions. In his post on ‘X’, he claimed that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had turned to political vendetta. He said that a tyrant used bulldozers to demolish the YSRCP’s central headquarters, despite the High Court’s rulings.

    According to Jagan Mohan Reddy, Naidu’s actions were a message about how his administration would be for the next five years. However, the YSRCP Chief stated that the party would not be intimidated by these threats or political vendettas. He promised to fight for the people’s rights and urged all democratic forces in the country to reject Chandrababu Naidu’s actions.
     

  • Kingmaker Politics: What Do Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP, Nitish Kumar’s JDU Want From Modi 3.0? |

    The Lok Sabha elections are done and dusted, but the anticipation for the 2024 cabinet members is continuous. However, all the NDA leaders selected the Prime Minister as their PM candidate unanimously, and the demands from the branded ‘Kingmakers’ are yet to be fulfilled.  

    After the unforeseen poll verdict, two parties, Nitish Kumar’s JDU and N Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP, with 12 and 16 seats, respectively, emerged as the highly demanded parties, with both the NDA and INDIA bloc seeking their loyalty.  

    Although Kumar and Naidu have pledged their allegiances to the NDA, they do possess adept negotiation skills and understand the importance of leveraging their support. Had the BJP achieved a majority independently, allies would have had to accept whatever they were offered. Yet, with the numbers falling short of a clear majority, a strategic opportunity has emerged, one that these seasoned politicians are poised to seize.  

    Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party has asked for two ministries along with the position of Lok Sabha House speaker in exchange for his party’s commitment, reports indicated.  

    Meanwhile, JDU leader KC Tyagi, while talking to the media, said that Bihar requires special status for the state. He expressed the expectation that, considering the significant support received from Bihar, the new government would take the initiative to grant Bihar special status and conduct a nationwide caste census. However, he added that JDU’s support for the NDA is unconditional.  

    A preferential status for Andhra Pradesh is another key issue that may come up in the negotiations. In fact, it was a dispute over a special status demand that prompted Mr Naidu to part ways with the BJP in 2016.
