Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday (February 6, 2026) made a big claim regarding adulteration in Tirupati Laddu. He said that during the tenure of the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government, the ghee used in making Tirupati Laddu was made from the chemicals used in bathroom cleaners. He accused the YSRCP of tarnishing the sanctity of Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple by adulterating the Prasad.
According to IANS report, the Chief Minister said that for five years he (YSRCP) made Prasad from ghee made from chemicals. This ghee was made from chemicals used to clean bathrooms. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was addressing a public meeting organized on the occasion of distribution of ‘Your Land – Your Rights’ pattadar passbooks to farmers at Yemmiganur in Kurnool district.
He said that YSRCP leader and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is claiming that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Special Investigation Team have given him a clean chit, but his own uncle YV Subba Reddy has admitted that there was adulteration in the Prasad.
The Chief Minister claimed that he tried to rectify the situation after YSRCP defiled TTD with adulterated Prasad. He said that there is a huge difference between the laddus given earlier and now. He also accused the YSRCP of making a show of strength for political purposes instead of fighting for issues of public interest.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu remarked that the show of strength should be done during elections. Referring to Jagan Mohan Reddy’s recent visit to Guntur, Chandrababu Naidu said that he caused inconvenience to the drivers.
The Chief Minister said that earlier he had crushed a person named Singayya under his convoy. In Bangarupalayam they threw mangoes on the ground, trampled them and created hooliganism. He further said that he knows how to deal with this kind of politics.
He said that the Telugu Desam Party-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh is providing farmers with leasehold passbooks equipped with all security features to prevent manipulation in land records.
