Politics On Tirupati Temple: The political battle over the claims and allegations of the use of animal fat in the laddus of Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy Temple is increasing. After TDP, now Bharatiya Janata Party leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar has also mentioned this issue. He wrote on the social media platform X, ‘God will never forgive this big betrayal of Hindus.’
Bandi Sanjay Kumar wrote on X, ‘The use of animal fat in laddus is a grave betrayal of the faith of Hindus who worship Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy. We had already raised concerns that the inclusion of people from other communities and atheists as employees and in the TTD board would lead to corruption and disrespect for the faith of Hindus.’
