Tirupati Laddu Case: Allegations of adulteration in the Laddu Prasad of Tirupati Balaji temple in Andhra Pradesh have intensified the political stir in the state. Amidst this controversy, former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken an important step. He has announced that he will visit Tirupati Balaji temple on September 28, where he will perform worship and forgiveness rituals.

Atonement for Naidu's 'sin'

Jagan Mohan Reddy has made it clear that his move is in reference to the allegations made by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. He said that Naidu has recently decided to atone for the 'sin' he allegedly committed regarding Tirupati Laddu. According to YSR Congress sources, Jagan Reddy is expected to reach Tirumala on September 27 and will spend the night there. After this, he will visit Lord Venkateshwara on September 28.

Jagan has appealed to all Andhra Pradesh residents to participate in worship in the temples of the state on this day, so that the allegations made by Naidu can be atoned for. His move not only has religious significance but also gives a political message.

Roots of the controversy

The controversy started when Chandrababu Naidu alleged in the NDA Legislature Party meeting that Jagan Reddy's YSRCP government did not spare even the Sri Venkateswara temple. He said that substandard material and animal fat were used to make laddus. These allegations have become a big topic of discussion across the country and have affected the sentiments of devotees towards the temple.

Reactions of BJP and TDP

BJP and TDP have also given their reaction on Jagan Reddy's decision to visit Tirupati Balaji temple. Andhra Pradesh BJP President D. Purandeswari said that Jagan Mohan Reddy should express his faith in front of the Garuda statue before declaring his faith in Tirumala.

At the same time, TDP national spokesperson Prem Kumar Jain said whether Jagan Reddy will show his devotion to Tirumala temple by filling the SIC form. Such questions make it clear that this matter is not only religious but also political.

Conclusion

Jagan Mohan Reddy's decision to visit Tirupati Balaji temple is not only a religious act, but it is also a part of political strategy. This controversy has added a new flame to the politics of Andhra Pradesh, and it will be interesting to see how this political storm progresses. Striking a balance between the sentiments of devotees and political interests is the biggest challenge of this time.
