In a heated confrontation over the alleged adulteration of Tirupati Laddu, YSRCP MP YV Subba Reddy dismissed the ruling TDP's accusations, arguing that no animal fat was found in recent investigations by the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI).
Reddy, a former chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), addressed a press meeting in New Delhi to counter the claims of the TDP-led NDA government. He criticized relaxed tender norms under TDP's administration between 2014 and 2019, which he suggests led to the controversy.
Denouncing the purported political motives, Reddy called attention to a Supreme Court-appointed CBI-led SIT investigation, which reportedly found no inconsistency. He accused the state government of spreading false claims despite being cleared by the report and labeled the continued inquiry efforts as politically driven.
