New Delhi: A PIL has now been filed in the Supreme Court in the case of adulteration in the Prasad of the world famous Tirupati Balaji temple. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has filed this PIL. Subramanian Swamy has demanded an inquiry into the allegations of adulteration leveled by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Let us tell you that Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu had recently accused the Tirupati Balaji temple Prasad of adulterating it with animal fat during the NDA Legislature Party meeting. However, former Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy has called it political rhetoric.
What is the controversy
The board managing the country's richest temple on Friday revealed that it had detected adulteration of poor quality ghee and animal fat in samples sent for quality check. The claim of adulteration of laddus with animal fat was made by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. After the previous YSR Congress Party government was blamed over the issue, former Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy termed it “diversionary politics” and a “fabricated story”.
Central government sought report
After the entire controversy, the central government has sought a report from the Andhra Pradesh government on this matter and has promised to take appropriate action. Union Food Minister Prahlad Joshi has said that the allegations will be investigated. TTD on Friday cited a laboratory report and said that 'fat' and other impurities have been found in the ghee. TTD Executive Officer J. Shyamala Rao said that animal fat and grease have been found in the samples in the laboratory test and the board is in the process of 'blacklisting' the contractor who supplied this 'adulterated' ghee.
