Tirupati laddus are embroiled in controversy after allegations of animal fats in their ghee emerged from the TDP government, supported by a lab report. Ayodhya temple’s chief priest demanded strict action and an investigation into the allegations.

According to the sources, laddus weighing around three tonnes had been sent to Ayodhya by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which managed the affairs of Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple popularly known as Tirupati Temple.
