Bandi fumes over TTD laddu controversy
Hyderabad: Union minister of state Bandi Sanjay on Thursday said that the use of animal fat in the Prasadam Laddu at the Tirumala Venkateswara temple was a deep betrayal of Hindus, and demanded strong action against the culprits.
"God will not forgive for this massive betrayal to Hindus. In the past, we raised concerns that allowing individuals from other communities and atheists as employees and also into TTD board would lead to corruption and disrespect towards beliefs of Hindus," Sanjay wrote on X.
He said the Andhra Pradesh government must conduct an immediate probe into the matter to uncover the truth and take strong action against those responsible.
In a separate statement, BJP MLA Raja Singh said the use of animal fat is a direct assault on the rich cultural and religious heritage of Hindus. He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home Minister Amit Shah and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to take immediate action against those responsible.
