Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP said that the allegation by Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu that the YSRCP government allowed the use of animal fat in Tirupati laddoos is "malicious". The party accused TDP leaders of stooping "to any level for political gain". Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president YS Sharmila said that Naidu should be held accountable for his remarks.
