Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the previous YSR Congress-led government used animal fat in Laddus at Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati

Lab analysis revealed foreign fats, including animal fats, in the ghee used for Tirupati laddu prasadam during the YSRC government's tenure. The NDDB report mentioned possible false positives due to cow feeding conditions.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has criticised the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and its leader, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, over a laboratory report alleging the presence of animal fat in the ghee used to prepare the famous Tirupati laddoos,

While YSRCP accused Chandrababu Naidu of indulging in “heinous allegations” and TDP circulated the lab report to back the claim.

However, there was no official confirmation on lab report from either Andhra Pradesh government or Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.

Naidu alleged that the previous YSRCP government compromised the Sri Venkateswara temple by using substandard ingredients and animal fat in the Tirupati laddus.

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila has demanded that Naidu be held accountable for his remarks. She urged him to set up a high-level inquiry if his allegations were genuine.
