VIJAYAWADA/TIRUPATI : Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president YS Sharmila Reddy asked the coalition government headed by TDP in the State to heed the advice of the Supreme Court and order for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the Tirumala Laddu controversy and said, “We have been demanding the same from the beginning.”
Taking to social media platform X, she posted, “Supreme Court observations on Tirumala Laddu issue are a slap on the face of State and Union governments. From the State, Congress has been demanding a CBI probe into the issue, as the SIT probe is nothing but a rubber stamp investigation, and is of no use. There is a need to uncover the truth regarding ghee adulteration and the people behind it. Why was the NDDB report disclosed so late and who brought a communal angle to it?”
Meanwhile, former Union Minister and Congress senior leader Dr Chinta Mohan has slammed the TDP-led NDA government for politicising the Tirumala laddu issue for political gain.
He further criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its contradictory stance on purity and corruption surrounding the laddu issue.
