Tirupati Laddu Beef Tallow Controversy: Amul says its not involved in supplying ghee to Tirupati
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD). In a statement on September 20, Amul clarified, “We wish to clarify that Amul has never supplied ghee to TTD.” The company further emphasized that their ghee is made from high-quality milk in ISO-certified facilities.
These rumors surfaced after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu accused the previous administration under YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of using substandard ingredients, including animal fat, in making the sacred Tirupati laddoos. Naidu claimed that even the revered Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirupati was not exempt from these practices.
TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy supported these allegations by presenting a report from a Gujarat-based livestock laboratory. The report allegedly confirmed the presence of beef tallow, lard, and fish oil in the ghee samples used by TTD.
The controversy has now moved to the judicial arena. Senior YSRCP leader Y V Subba Reddy has filed a petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Another petition has been submitted to the Supreme Court, arguing that these actions violate fundamental Hindu religious customs and deeply hurt the sentiments of devotees.
