Tirumala Laddu Prasadam

A Sacred Offering Maligned for Political Conspiracy

Coalition Government’s Smear Campaign

The sacred and divine Tirumala laddu prasadam has been dragged into a malicious political
conspiracy by the TDP-led coalition government. Unable to fulfil its election promises and
under pressure from public anger, the government is resorting to diversion politics by
spreading false propaganda over laddu purity. In violation of Supreme Court directions,
political motives are being injected into a religious and devotional matter. Yellow media has
joined hands in this planned misinformation campaign.

False Claims About “Chinna Appanna”

The coalition government falsely projected a petty employee at AP Bhavan, Chinna

Appanna, as the PA of former TTD Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy to malign YSRCP. In
reality, he previously worked as the PA to present TDP MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy.
The government twisted his personal property details, threatened him, and attempted to
coerce false statements against Subba Reddy. This exposes the political conspiracy to
frame YSRCP.

Is Ordering an Inquiry Wrong?

Upon receiving a complaint about ghee quality, then Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy directed
samples to be tested at CFTRI, Mysuru, a responsible action. If he had ignored the
complaint, they would accuse him of negligence. If he investigates, they ask why he ordered
inquiry. This double language exposes that TDP’s intent is not truth but defamation.

TTD Is Board-Run, Not Chairman-Run

Yellow media hides the fact that TTD decisions are Board decisions , not one individual’s.
The ghee supply contract approved during YSRCP tenure was passed by the Board.
Notably, today's TDP Minister Kolusu Parthasarathy and TDP MLA Vemireddy
Prashanthi were Board & Purchase Committee members who approved and recommended
the same contract. Yet the same leaders are now silent.

Contradictory Stories on Bhole Baba Dairy

Government and yellow media are contradicting themselves:

●​ They claim Bhole Baba Dairy procured Rs. 240 crore contract without collecting milk
from farmers.
●​ In the same reports, they claim the dairy collects milk from 60,000 farmers in UP. If
both claims come from the same media, which one is true? These contradictions
expose the fabricated narrative.​
Who first removed Nandini Dairy?

TDP falsely questions why YSRCP didn't award contracts to Karnataka Nandini Dairy.​
Reality:

●​ In 2015, Chandrababu first removed Nandini after a decade of supplying TTD.

●​ He awarded the contract to Maharashtra’s private Govind Dairy.
●​ Under YSRCP, Nandini did not even participate in tenders. How can a contract be
awarded to a company that did not bid? If YSRCP awarded without tender, TDP
would have gone to court claiming favoritism.

Politically Motivated SIT

The coalition government appointed a SIT filled with TDP-loyal officers:

●​ IG Sarvasrestha Tripathi
●​ Ex-Visakhapatnam DIG Gopinath Jetti (related to TDP bureaucrat & Heritage Foods
associate Krishnaiah)
●​ Kadapa SP Harshavardhan Raj

SIT was hurriedly formed and only then was a complaint filed. A night before filing FIR, the
Tirupati East CI was transferred, proving the conspiracy to fabricate a case.

Supreme Court Slammed TDP

Supreme Court asked Chandrababu: “How can you, as CM, make baseless allegations
on sacred laddu? Keep God out of politics.” SC halted SIT, ordered independent
investigation under CBI supervision , a tight slap to the government’s drama.

Diversion from Flood Failure & Governance Collapse

Government ignored early warnings about Budameru floods; Vijayawada submerged. To

escape accountability, they targeted Tirumala laddu to divert attention.But TTD EO
Shyamala Rao publicly clarified multiple times that contaminated ghee tankers were
rejected and never used.

Timeline

●​ Jul 23, 2024 , EO: Vegetable fat found, tankers rejected, supplier blacklisted
●​ Sep 18, 2024 , Chandrababu: Animal fat used (baseless)
●​ Sep 22, 2024 , EO: Four tankers rejected, supply stopped
●​ Sep 22, 2024 , Chandrababu repeats lie, ignores facts.
●​ Next day TDP illegally released NDDB confidential report.​
Y.V. Subba Reddy Asked for SC-Monitored CBI Inquiry

Subba Reddy filed petition for impartial CBI probe under retired SC judge. BJP leader
Subramanian Swamy also demanded judicial probe. TDP reacted with more propaganda,
fearing truth.

TTD’s Strong Quality System

●​ Tender every 6 months

●​ L1 bidder only
●​ Board approval mandatory
●​ NABL lab certification required
●​ 3-sample testing at Tirupati
●​ Failed tanks returned at Alipiri itself
●​ 15 tankers rejected under TDP rule (2014–19)
●​ 18 tankers rejected under YSRCP rule (2019–24)

Current Samples taken under TDP rule

The samples at the center of controversy were collected on: June 12, 2024 , same day
Chandrababu took oath. Reports, rejection, and NDDB testing all happened in TDP regime.

NDDB never said Animal Fat

NDDB only indicated adulteration, did NOT confirm animal fat. Food scientists say
vegetable oils are cheaper adulterants like palm oil, hydrogenated fats. Animal fat claim is
pure political fabrication.
