Let us tell you that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu had made a sensational disclosure that when Jagan Mohan Reddy's government was in power in the state, at that time, instead of ghee, fat made from animal fat was used in making laddus for Prasad in Tirupati Balaji temple. After Chandra Babu Naidu's allegations, the investigation report of the National Dairy Development Board confirmed that cow fat, fish oil and many other objectionable substances were used in making prasad laddus.

On the other hand, a petition has been filed in the apex court by lawyer Satyam Singh regarding this matter. In his petition, Satyam Singh has sought the intervention of the Supreme Court in this matter. Singh has argued in the petition that this is a violation of Article 25 of the Indian Constitution. Article 25 guarantees the right to follow religious customs and religious freedom.
