Spat Over Nandini Ghee For Tirupati Laddus Spills Out Of Karnataka
NDTV
The Karnataka Milk Federation has said it had never made any claim about how long they have been supplying ghee to the famous temple.
It looked like the pan was being prepared for a fresh Congress-BJP showdown in Karnataka. But the Tirupati laddu issue instead slipped into boiling ghee with Tirumala authorities in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
A day after Tirumala Temple Devasthanams (TTD) officials said that Tirupati laddus had used Nandini ghee only for a year in the past two decades, Karnataka Milk Federation said they had never made any claim about how long they have been supplying ghee to the famous temple.
The recipe for a political battle over the delicious Tirupati temple offering was set in motion with developments on Sunday. This was when a reference was made to Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) not supplying Nandini brand ghee to the renowned Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh.
