A political controversy erupted in Andhra Pradesh on September 18 when former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu alleged that animal fat, including beef fat, fish oil, and lard, had been used in the preparation of the famous Tirupati laddus during the tenure of current Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Naidu’s claim sparked a strong backlash from Reddy’s party, which accused Naidu of making false allegations for political gain. Nara Lokesh, Naidu’s son and IT Minister, further supported the claim, citing lab reports as evidence. The issue has led to heated exchanges between the two parties.
