Syndicate used adulterated ghee in Tirupati laddus: CM Naidu

Syndicate used adulterated ghee in Tirupati laddus: CM Naidu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said on Tuesday that organised syndicates during the previous YSRCP regime committed "sacrilege" by compromising with the prasadam as nearly 60 lakh kg of "adulterated ghee" was used to make over 20 crore consecrated laddus for the Tirupati temple. Addressing the Assembly during a brief discussion on the issue, the Chief Minister further stated that there was a conspiracy angle in the adulterated ghee supply issue. "As much as 59.71 lakh kg of ghee supplied to TTD was adulterated. Between 2019 and 2024, over 20 crore laddus were made using adulterated ghee," he added. Naidu said the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the custodian of world famous hill shrine, spent about Rs 234.51 crore to procure the adulterated ghee.
Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan informed the Assembly that a CBI-led Special Investigation Team (SIT) found that no milk was used in the manufacture of ghee supplied for the preparation of Tirumala laddu prasadam. Citing the SIT findings, he said the ghee was allegedly produced using palm oil mixed with chemicals. However, the team reportedly noted that it does not currently have the technological capability to scientifically determine the precise chemical composition and origin of the substances used.

Naidu claimed similar adulterated ghee was supplied to the Srisailam Temple, calling it an attempt to erode the sanctity of temple offerings.
