This new selection of board members comes after a controversy regarding the preparation of the famous Tirupati laddoos erupted last month, which escalated into a political dispute across the state.
The Tirupati Laddoo, also called the ‘Srivari Laddoo’, has been the main offering at the temple for more than 300 years.
A massive uproar began on September 18 when Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu alleged that animal fat had been used in the preparation of Tirupati laddoos during the previous administration of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
In response, Reddy’s party, YSRCP, had accused Naidu of indulging in “heinous allegations” for political gains.
