YSR Congress (YSRCP) chief and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has cancelled his visit to Tirumala, the iconic Hindu temple in Tirupati. He took this decision amid the ongoing laddu controversy at the temple. He was accused by TDP supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of using animal fat in the laddus.
YSR Congress president and the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called off his visit to the iconic Hindu temple at Tirupati, Tirumala. He took this decision amid a continuing laddu controversy at the temple complex.
He had been accused by TDP supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of using animal fat in the laddus. Sources close to Reddy said his visit to the hill shrine has been cancelled but did not immediately reveal the reason behind the decision, which came hours before he was to depart for the temple town.
It is being told that Reddy's visit was cancelled amid the demand of NDA allies in Andhra Pradesh that he should declare his faith before entering the temple. Mr. Reddy was quoted saying in a press conference that everyone in the country knew his religion, and he has visited Tirumala temple many times even before becoming CM.
