YSR Congress Chief Jagan Mohan Reddy canceled his planned visit to the Tirumala temple after allegations surfaced about the use of animal fat in the preparation of the temple's prasadam laddus. The visit, part of statewide rituals by the party, was meant to counter allegations made by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Naidu claimed the laddus, a sacred offering, contained substandard ingredients, leading to public outrage. Reddy dismissed the accusations, calling them baseless, and criticized the state government for obstructing his temple visit. He defended the temple's transparent procurement process for ingredients, including ghee, which is used in the laddus.
