OPINION | Sinners of Tirupati: Animal Fat in Prasadam

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is one of the world's richest shrines and there is no dearth of funds for the Trust that runs Lord Venkateswara's shrine. After Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu released a report prepared by a Gujarat-based livestock lab confirming the presence of animal tallow in samples of ghee supplied for making Tirupati laddus, the question arises: Where was the need to seek ghee at cheaper rates?  Who can believe that the TTD Trust was facing fund shortage while purchasing pure ghee for the Lord? Had the Trust told the people that it was facing fund shortage in buying pure ghee for making laddus, crores of rupees would have poured into its coffers in a single day. Let me give some statistics. TTD Trust owns 11,329 kg of gold ornaments valued at Rs 8,500 crore. The Devasthanam Trust has Rs 18,817 crore cash balance in its accounts. Its annual revenue is nearly Rs 1200 crore.
