Nadda Seeks Probe into Tirupati Laddu Controversy  

Health Minister J.P. Nadda has called for a detailed investigation after concerns surfaced regarding the quality and distribution of the sacred Tirupati laddu, sparking public outrage.

Health Minister J.P. Nadda has requested a comprehensive report on the emerging concerns surrounding the Tirupati laddu, following widespread complaints from devotees. The iconic laddu, a prasadam distributed at the famous Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) temple, has recently been the subject of controversy due to issues related to its quality and supply.   

The controversy first came to light when several devotees expressed dissatisfaction over the laddu’s preparation, citing discrepancies in taste and texture. Some even alleged a reduction in the quantity of ingredients used, which they believe has compromised the authenticity of the prasadam. This sparked a wave of criticism, both online and offline, with devotees demanding immediate action.  

Nadda, taking serious note of the situation, has ordered a detailed probe into the matter. "The sanctity of Tirupati laddu should not be tampered with. I have sought a full report to ensure that corrective steps are taken promptly," Nadda stated.  

TTD officials, in response, have assured that they are looking into the matter and will take the necessary steps to address any lapses. The temple administration has also pledged to maintain the quality of the laddu, emphasizing its deep spiritual and cultural significance.  

The investigation is expected to reveal whether any lapses in the production process occurred and what measures will be implemented to uphold the laddu's traditional value.
