Controversy Over Alleged Tirupati Laddu Adulteration: Call for Supreme Court Probe

Senior YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu criticizes the SIT probe ordered by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu into the Tirupati laddu adulteration case, calling for a Supreme Court monitored investigation. Former TTD chairman Y V Subba Reddy also demands a thorough probe by independent entities. Accusations fly as political figures weigh in on the issue.

The controversy surrounding the alleged adulteration of Tirupati laddus continues to escalate, with Senior YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu condemning the SIT probe ordered by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Rambabu insists on a Supreme Court monitored investigation.

On Sunday, Naidu commissioned a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by an inspector general (IG) or higher rank officer to probe the allegations of animal fat mixing in the renowned laddus. However, YSRCP leaders argue this step is insufficient.

Former TTD chairman Y V Subba Reddy, represented by P Sudhakar Reddy, advocates for an independent investigation, rejecting any inquiry under Naidu's influence. As the political fallout intensifies, accusations regarding motives and past actions of political leaders add to the tension.
