As per report andhra pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu slammed his predecessor and YSRCP chief jagan Mohan reddy over the ongoing controversy on the preparation of tirupati balaji prasadam laddoos and said that reddy is shamelessly trying to justify his crime. The Andhra cm also constituted a high-level committee to probe the matter. While addressing the reporters in Vijayawada, Naidu alleged that several procedures to procure ghee by the tirumala tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) were altered during the YSRCP government regime.Perhaps “Jagan is shamelessly trying to justify his crime. Regarding the false positive factor mentioned in the report, jagan has given a lengthy explanation and concluded that the tests conducted by scientists and labs are false. He is making these baseless, unfounded statements sitting at home,” the chief minister said.Meanwhile Naidu also claimed that appointments to the ttd board became like “gambling” during the previous government and there were instances of appointing people who had no faith and giving preferences to non-Hindus on the board.
Moreover he said, as per the earlier conditions, the ghee supplier should have at least three years of experience. However, after reddy came to power it was reduced to one year. The cm also said that the required turnover of the supplier was also reduced to Rs 150 crore from the earlier Rs 250 crore. The chief minister asked how one can supply pure ghee at Rs 319 when even palm oil is costlier than that.
