New Delhi:
Amid allegations of using animal fat to adulterate ghee for Tirupati temple laddus, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has formed a special investigation team to investigate irregularities in the Tirupati temple body. Addressing the media at his residence, Naidu said that an SIT comprising an Inspector General level or above officer will be formed. It will investigate all the reasons, abuse of power and submit a report to the government. He said that the government is serious about not repeating this and strict action will be taken against the culprits.
Earlier, the ruling Telugu Desam Party had alleged that former Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Trust chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy and former executive officer AV Dharma Reddy had committed several irregularities in temple management in the last five years. The Chief Minister had alleged that irregularities had surfaced during the rule of the previous YSRCP government and said that he would “clean up” the system. He had said, “Many unholy things were done in Tirumala in the last five years.”
He also accused his predecessor in the top post, YS Jaganmohan Reddy, of appointing his close aides as TTD board members and using it for political gains. Last week, the Chief Minister had said that animal fat was used in making Tirupati laddus. After that, a laboratory report of the NDDB was released which said that samples of Tirupati ghee during the rule of YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s previous government had tested positive for fish oil, animal fat and lard. Reddy has accused Mr Naidu of being a “habitual liar” and has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to intervene.
