On 18 September 2024, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu accused the former YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government of using substandard ingredients, including animal fat, in the famous Tirupati laddu. However, YSRCP denied these allegations.

A laboratory report revealed that beef tallow, fish oil, and palm oil were used to prepare laddus, which were distributed as prasad at the renowned Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati. The report’s findings indicate that the ghee used to prepare the iconic Tirupati laddu prasadam during the YSRCP regime contained traces of animal fat, including beef tallow and fish oil, leading to widespread outrage and claims of disrespect toward religious sentiments.

As the entire Hindu community is outraged by reports of adulteration of Tirupati Laddu prasadam with beef tallow, pig fat and fish oil, the DMK-supporting Dravidianists in Tamil Nadu have pounced on the opportunity to mock Hindus and their worship of cows.

One such Dravidianist propagandist masquerading as a ‘journalist’ is Niranjan Kumar of Puthiya Thalaimurai news channel.

In an X post that seemingly justified the presence of beef fat in the holy prasadam, the Dravidianist journalist said “Let all those souls who were lynched to death attain peace“, in an apparent dig at gau rakshaks protecting cows from smugglers.

In another post he mocked at Hindus by making reference to a scene from the film ‘Ayan’ in which the antagonist offers laddu to a character played by actor Prabhu, to signify the striking of a deal. Prabhu offers the laddu back to the antagonist to confirm it is not poisoned. However, later Prabhu’s car meets with an accident because the antagonist had removed the nuts and bolts from the wheels.

“You thought I kept it in the laddu? I kept it in the nut-u“, says the antagonist.

In this case, the malice was actually in the laddu and so, the screenshot and snippet of this scene was shared by many Dravidianists and DMK-Congress supporters. Niranjan too shared the same screenshot to mock Hindus.

The bigoted Dravidian propagandist shared another screenshot from the movie ‘Yaaradi Nee Mohini’ in which the character blushes as she says “Achaho Perumale”.

The propagandist at Puthiya Thalaimurai in a sadistic way expressed his elation at Hindu devotees being duped and made to eat laddu laden with beef fat.

Another Dravidian propagandist who calls himself as a journalist is Nelson Xavier. He took at a jibe at the incident saying “Milk, butter, ghee and fat, all belong to cows. Like cow’s milk, its fat is also foodstuff. Don’t talk down beef fat.”

As usual there were other DMK-supporting Dravidianist who took the opportunity to make fun of Hindus.

The above post takes jibe at Hindus saying “Parcel one laddu made of beef fat for the mama (derogatory reference to Brahmins)”.

In the above picture, a DMK IT wing man shared a post mocking Hindus over the presence of beef fat in Tirupati laddu.

Varavanai Senthil, a rabid Dravidianist know for making anti-Hindu remarks who currently does a show for a DMK propaganda channel called Onion Roast and is also associated with the DMK mouthpiece Kalaignar TV, went on a spree of sharing memes that mocked Hindus over fasting for Purattasi month while Tirupati laddu contains beef fat.
