Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy cancelled his go to to Tirupati temple on Friday amid the continued prasadam adulteration row. Reddy’s go to was initially scheduled to go to the Tirupati shrine as a part of YSRCP’s statewide temple ritual aimed toward rectifying the ‘sins’ dedicated by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Earlier, in a press convention, Reddy had denied claims of ‘beef tallow’, ‘lard’ and ‘fish oil’ within the Tirupati laddoo.
Sources near Jagan Reddy have confirmed the cancellation of his go to to the hill shrine, although the rationale for the last-minute determination, made simply hours earlier than his deliberate departure, was not instantly disclosed. The YSRCP chief criticized Naidu for spreading falsehoods, labeling his administration as a ‘monster’s regime.’
The cancellation comes as NDA allies in Andhra Pradesh demanded that Reddy publicly declare his religion previous to coming into the temple.
On Thursday, Reddy’s get together had urged devotees throughout the state to take part in temple pooja on Saturday, being organised to revive and purify the sacredness of Tirumala temple, which the get together claims has been tarnished by the false claims of CM Naidu about animal fats in laddoo. Reddy claimed that the allegations misled devotees and tarnished the revered picture of Lord Venkateswara.
BJP, TDP Demand Reddy To Declare His Religion
The Bharatiya Janta Get together (BJP) demanded that former CM Reddy should declare his religion earlier than coming into the temple on September 28.
“As per Andhra Pradesh Income Endowments, Rule 16, and TTD Common Rules Rule 136, non-Hindus should submit a declaration at Vaikuntam queue advanced earlier than darshan,” ANI cited State president Andhra Pradesh BJP, Daggubati Purandeswari.
TDP spokesperson Kommareddy Pattabhi Ram acknowledged that Jagan Reddy should publicly declare his religion earlier than planning a temple go to, warning that he would in any other case be barred from coming into the temple premises.
