As Pawan Kalyan suggested constituting a 'Sanatana Dharma Rakshana Board' at a national level to look into the issues related to temples in the country, Prakash Raj slammed him and accused him of 'blowing up' the issue nationally.

A massive row has erupted in Andhra Pradesh over the alleged presence of animal fats in ghee used to make laddoos offered as prasad by the Tirupati Temple.

The controversy surfaced after Andhra CM N Chandrababu Naidu made allegations on Thursday that the previous Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government had used animal fat instead of ghee to prepare the laddoo ‘prasadam’ at Tirumala.
