Tirupati laddu issue | Nadda seeks report from CM, says will take suitable action
Nadda seeks full report from Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu on Tirupati laddu controversy as political tensions rise over claims of animal fat usage
Union Health Minister Nadda said on Friday (September 20) that he had spoken with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, requesting a full report on the Tirupati laddu matter.
He added that the Centre would examine the matter and take suitable action.
Naidu's claim
Naidu has claimed that animal fat was used for making Tirupati laddus during the previous Jagan Mohan Reddy government, triggering a massive political row with the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) accusing the chief minister of indulging in "heinous allegations" for political gains and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) circulating a lab report to back the claim.
Addressing a press conference on the first 100 days of the Modi government's third term, Nadda said, "I got to know about the issue through social media. I spoke to Chandrababu Naidu today and asked to send the entire report." "Once we get the report, it will be examined and suitable action taken," he added.
