Fresh political controversy has erupted over the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple laddu prasadam issue. Allegations have surfaced that certain influencers were offered money to spread negative content targeting Heritage and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
According to political sources, influencers were allegedly promised payments ranging from ₹4,000 to ₹5,000 per video. The content reportedly aimed to accuse Heritage and TDP of wrongdoing related to the Tirumala laddu prasadam matter. These claims have triggered a heated political debate in Andhra Pradesh.
Allegations of Paid Campaign Against TDP
Supporters of TDP allege that the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) attempted to create a coordinated online campaign. They claim the plan involved paying social media influencers to publish misleading videos. The objective, they argue, was to damage the image of Heritage and the TDP leadership.
However, no official evidence has yet been presented publicly to substantiate these accusations. Meanwhile, the controversy has intensified on social media platforms, where supporters from both sides are exchanging sharp reactions.
Political Tensions Escalate
The Tirumala laddu prasadam holds deep religious and cultural significance for millions of devotees. Therefore, any controversy linked to it quickly attracts public attention. Political observers note that issues connected to faith often escalate rapidly in Andhra Pradesh’s charged political climate.
TDP leaders have condemned what they describe as a “malicious propaganda attempt.” They argue that spreading unverified claims for political mileage undermines public trust. On the other hand, YSRCP leaders have not officially responded to these specific allegations so far.
Demand for Responsible Communication
Political analysts stress the need for restraint and factual clarity. They say misinformation campaigns, if proven true, can damage democratic discourse. Moreover, using religious sentiments for political battles may further polarise voters.
As the debate continues, many citizens are calling for transparency. They want authorities to verify the facts before concluding. Until then, the controversy surrounding the Tirumala laddu issue remains a flashpoint in Andhra Pradesh politics.
