NDTV
Jagan Mohan Reddy has said the entire country is looking at the Prime Minister and Chandrababu Naidu must be reprimanded in the severest way
Amid the massive row over allegations that animal fat was used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling the incumbent Chief Minister N Chandrababu a "pathological liar" and accusing him hurting the beliefs of crores of people "purely for political objectives".
The YSR Congress Party chief has said the entire country is looking at the Prime Minister and it is imperative that Mr Naidu "be reprimanded in (the) severest way for his shameless act of spreading lies". He has demanded that the "truth be brought to light" to allay the suspicions in the minds of crores of Hindu devotees.
Mr Naidu's TDP swept the Andhra polls this year and paved the way for Mr Reddy's exit as Chief Minister. TDP is also a key ally of the BJP at the Centre and its support is critical to NDA's majority in Lok Sabha after the BJP suffered a setback in this general election.
