Health Ministry Asks For Detailed Report As Tirupati Laddoo Row Escalates

Union Health Minister JP Nadda has asked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for a “detailed report” on the row over animal fat in ghee used to make laddoos offered as ‘prasadam‘ to the deity at the Tirupati temple, and to crores of devotees who visit every year. 

Mr Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party this week cited a July report from a lab in Gujarat that said samples of the ghee used when his rival, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, was in power contained traces of beef tallow, fish oil, and pig fat, or lard.
