YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy V, on Tuesday, sharply criticized Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for allegedly spreading 'misinformation' regarding the Tirupati Prasadam controversy. Reddy stated that such actions without conclusive proof could lead to legal consequences under multiple laws.

In a post on platform X, Vijayasai Reddy expressed that the Andhra CM has committed a severe mistake by propagating false claims about the Sri Venkateswara temple prasadam.
