Let us tell you that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had revealed that during the tenure of former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, the ghee used to make laddus served as prasad in Tirupati temple was made from animal fat. After this, this was confirmed in the report of Gujarat-based NDDB lab. Since then, there has been an uproar about this across the country. Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan is performing an 11-day ritual to please Lord Venkateshwara. Purification and havan have also been done in Tirupati temple.
