SC Slams Andhra Pradesh Government: ‘Keep God Out of Politics’ Amid Tirupati Laddu Controversy.

In a heated session on Monday, the Supreme Court questioned the Andhra Pradesh government regarding allegations surrounding the sacred Tirupati Laddu Prasadam. The court expressed displeasure over political interference in religious matters, with Justice BR Gavai remarking, “At least we expect Gods to be kept away from politics.” The controversy arose after claims that adulterated ghee, possibly containing animal fat, was used to prepare the prasadam, a claim brought into the spotlight by opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu.

The Andhra Pradesh government had previously formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the issue. However, the court questioned the rush to the press, asking for clear proof that contaminated ghee had indeed been used. The ghee in question, as per the state’s own reports, was a rejected sample. The SC also indicated it might transfer the investigation to an independent agency, keeping religious sentiments in mind.

This political showdown between CM Jagan Mohan Reddy and Naidu has sparked outrage across Andhra, with Naidu accusing Reddy’s government of compromising the sanctity of Tirumala, while Reddy called these claims “blatant lies.”

This ongoing controversy, which has rattled religious and political circles alike, raises important questions about the intersection of faith, politics, and governance in India.In a heated session on Monday, the Supreme Court questioned the Andhra Pradesh government regarding allegations surrounding the sacred Tirupati Laddu Prasadam.
