By A Staff Reporter
In Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, TDP spokesperson Kommareddy Pattabhi Ram voiced strong criticism of YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit to Tirumala Temple, particularly in light of the ongoing Tirupati Laddu Prasadam row. Pattabhi Ram emphasized that Jagan Mohan Reddy has committed what he describes as an "unforgivable sin," suggesting that his actions have irreparably harmed his standing within the religious community. He asserted, "There will be no relief for him. Lord Balaji will not forgive him even if he climbs up the seven hills on his knees."

Pattabhi Ram pointed to various documents released by the TDP that, according to him, demonstrate that the alleged wrongdoings by Jagan's administration regarding the Laddu Prasadam issue were intentional. He declared that there would be no forgiveness for these actions, indicating a growing tension surrounding the controversial matter.

In his remarks, Pattabhi Ram also highlighted the temple's customs regarding entry for individuals of different faiths. He insisted that anyone wishing to have a darshan of Lord Balaji must sign a declaration affirming their faith. He noted that Jagan Mohan Reddy, despite serving as chief minister, had never signed this declaration during his visits, which he argues violates the established protocol.

Pattabhi Ram's comments come amid heightened scrutiny of Jagan Mohan Reddy's administration and its handling of the Laddu Prasadam distribution controversy, which has garnered significant media attention and public debate. The TDP spokesperson's statements reflect an ongoing political struggle in the region, as parties leverage religious sentiments to strengthen their positions ahead of upcoming electoral battles.
