YSR Congress General Secretary Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi criticized Chandrababu Naidu over the Tirumala laddu controversy and heritage links with Indapur, accusing him of exploiting caste and religion for political gain. She accused the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena coalition government of undermining Hindu faith and diverting public attention from governance failures.

Lakshmi Parvathi’s Allegations

Speaking at the Tadepalli party headquarters, Lakshmi Parvathi alleged that Chandrababu Naidu had no devotion to God and was spreading “poisonous propaganda” regarding the Tirumala laddu prasadam. She further accused him of inciting caste and religious hatred to benefit politically and making false claims against families of YV Subba Reddy and Bhumana.

Historical Context and Heritage Disputes

Lakshmi Parvathi claimed that since Chandrababu Naidu first became Chief Minister in 1995, he had used religion as a political tool, portraying Sri Venkateswara as the deity of his caste for political advantage. She also alleged misappropriation of TTD funds linked to his family’s heritage organization, suggesting the government leveraged religious institutions for personal gain rather than public service.

Political Implications

The remarks come amid broader criticism of the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena government in Andhra Pradesh, with opposition leaders highlighting governance failures and controversial religious claims. Lakshmi Parvathi emphasized that questioning divine offerings like Tirumala laddu with claims of adulteration is an affront to Hindu faith and reflects political opportunism rather than devotion.
