Welcoming the Supreme Court constituting an independent SIT to probe into allegations of use of animal fat in Tirupati laddus, YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu should apologise for misleading people.
Cancelling the Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Andhra chief minister, the Supreme Court has pointed out Naidu’s “true picture’, Reddy said at a press conference and alleged that Naidu had been spreading lies.
“… When the Supreme Court has passed such comments, if he (Naidu) has any devotion towards God, he should apologise to people. He should pray to Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy that he committed a mistake. He has not done any of it but on top of that they (TDP) are (spreading false information) releasing posts through their Twitter handle,” Jagan said.
Reading out the order, Reddy said the Supreme Court has also made it clear that God should not be brought into politics.
“It is evident from these (Supreme Court) comments and also judgements pronounced that whatever Chandrababu Naidu has been speaking, the Supreme Court, categorically reprimanded Naidu,” he said.
The apex said the SIT will comprise two officials each from the CBI and the Andhra Pradesh Police besides a senior FSSAI official and the probe will be supervised by the CBI Director.
A person who is in the capacity of chief minister is provoking religious sentiments for political malafide intent, Jagan alleged.
“He (Naidu) does not have devotion or care about God. He can even use the Almighty for political gains,” the YSRCP chief claimed.
