Amid Tirupati laddu row, here's what devotees have to say

by · India Today

According to the temple administration, the controversy over the alleged use of animal fat in the sacred prasad at Tirupati has had no impact on sales. Over four days, the authorities said the temple sold over 14 lakh laddus, keeping up with its average daily sales of around 3.50 lakh. Devotees say that their faith is too strong to be shaken. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu alleged that the tainted ghee had been supplied during the previous regime led by the YSRCP, churning a political storm. YSRCP leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, whose party had lost power in the state polls earlier this year, accused the ruling TDP of “politicising religious matters” and Naidu of being a “pathological and habitual liar”.
