‘Authorities Must Protect Sanctity of Religious Spaces’: Rahul Gandhi On Tirupati Laddoo Row

During a recent NDA legislative party meeting, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu claimed that the previous government used substandard ingredients and animal fat to make laddus at the Tirupati temple. This sparked a political row, with accusations being thrown back and forth between the YSRCP and TDP. In response, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed concern over the reports, emphasizing the need to protect the sanctity of religious spaces like the Sri Venkateshwara temple. He urged authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter, as Lord Balaji is a revered deity for millions of devotees.
