The Tirupati Laddu controversy has shaken the nation, and legendary actor Mohan Babu, known for his straightforward nature, has voiced his deep concern and outrage in a powerful tweet.

As a devout devotee of Lord Venkateswara Swami, Mohan Babu expressed his shock and despair at the revelation that animal fat was allegedly added to the sacred laddus offered to the deity until just three months ago. He described this act as gharam, sin, ghorati ghoram, nikrishta, atinicham, heyam, aracham (horrible, sinful, terrifying, despicable, low, shameful, and appalling).

Addressing his friend and former Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Mohan Babu implored him to punish the guilty if these allegations are true. He underlined the sanctity of the Tirumala temple and its significance for millions of devotees, including himself and the students at his Mohan Babu University.

The actor’s tweet highlights the deep hurt and betrayal felt by countless Hindus who view the Tirupati Laddu as a sacred offering. He underscores the importance of ensuring the purity and integrity of religious practices and rituals.

While Mohan Babu's tweet doesn't explicitly accuse any party, his statement comes amid the ongoing political battle between the TDP and YCP over the alleged adulteration of ghee. The TDP has accused the YCP government of being involved in the misdeed, while the YCP insists on the allegations being false.

Mohan Babu's open condemnation of the alleged adulteration, regardless of who is responsible, demonstrates the gravity of the situation and the need for swift and decisive action. His call for justice and his clear message against compromising religious practices is likely to resonate with many.

The public's outrage, coupled with the condemnation from figures like Mohan Babu, will undoubtedly put immense pressure on the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice. This incident serves as a powerful reminder of the need to safeguard religious institutions and practices from exploitation and ensure the sanctity of faith.
