Tirupati laddus contain ‘beef tallow’: TDP shows ‘lab report’ | 10 updates

A massive political row erupted in Andhra Pradesh after chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu claimed that animal fat was used in Tirupati temple laddus during the previous YSRCP government led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Amid the controversy, the ruling Telugu Desam Party on Thursday claimed that the adulteration has been confirmed by a Gujarat-based livestock laboratory. TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy at a press conference displayed the purported lab report which apparently confirmed the presence of “beef tallow” in the given ghee sample, news agency PTI reported.
On Wednesday, N Chandrababu Naidu had alleged that there was a usage of “animal fat” instead of ghee in the laddus offered at Tirupati shrine.
