Overview
- Addressing lawmakers, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said withholding the laddu adulteration findings would have been sacrilege and insisted the government has acted to protect temple sanctity.
- YSRCP leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy accused Naidu of doublespeak, citing past TTD ghee supplies from Indapur Dairy, a Heritage Foods unit, at Rs 278–306 per kg during 2014–2019.
- Reddy said Indapur supplied 16.50 lakh kg at Rs 306 per kg in 2015 and questioned how the same unit won a December 2025 contract at Rs 658 per kg.
- He also questioned whether bidding under the name Indapur Dairy was used to mask the Heritage Foods connection and asked for clarity on pricing and tender terms.
- A CBI charge sheet referenced in the dispute notes over 40 lakh kg of ghee were supplied by two units during Naidu’s earlier term, a point the YSRCP is using to press for answers.
