YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday hit out at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over the ghee adulteration in Tirumala, saying the latter was trying to divert public attention

Ex Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy - under fire from the ruling TDP over claims of animal fat in ghee used to make Tirupati laddoos during his tenure - hit back Friday, refuting the allegation and criticising "diversion politics".

YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy criticized Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over ghee adulteration allegations in Tirumala. He accused Naidu of using diversion tactics to shift focus from his 100 days of rule and unfulfilled poll promises.

Hitting out at the current chief minister of the state, Reddy said that Naidu is such a person who can use god also for political gains. According to the former chief minister, Naidu's allegations of ghee adulteration in Tirupati prasadam laddoos are a calculated attempt to deflect attention from his 100 days of governance in Andhra Pradesh.
