Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Pattabhi Ram Kommareddy on Sunday criticised former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy over the Tirupati Prasadam controversy, stating that adulterating Lord Balaji’s prasad with animal fat is unacceptable. He added that Jagan Mohan should be prepared to face an inquiry.

Former Andhra CM Jagan Reddy Govt has faced scrutiny since the Tirupati 'Prasadam' controversy emerged. CM Chandrababu Naidu has levelled serious charges against the YSRCP Govt for alleged ‘Animal fat’ laddus in Temple.

In his letter, former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy clarified that the procurement of ghee for the Tirupati laddoo prasadam has been conducted through an e-tendering process, which takes place every six months.

In his eight-page letter, Jagan called Naidu a "habitual liar" and accused him of undermining the beliefs of millions for political gain.

YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention into the Tirupati laddu adulteration issue and that Chandrababu Naidu be reprimanded.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that attempts are being made by CM Naidu to irreparably tarnish the sanctity, integrity, and reputation of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

In the letter, the Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Naidu's "reckless" and "politically motivated" statements hurt the sentiments of devotees and "tarnished the sanctity" of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board.

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said PM Narendra Modi should take the "severest" action against Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu for "spreading lies" about the Tirupati 'prasadam'
