YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday hit out at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over the ghee adulteration in Tirumala, saying the latter was trying to divert public attention

వైసిపి ఐదేళ్ల పాలనలో వెంకటేశ్వరస్వామి పవిత్రత, తిరుమల తిరుపతి ప్రతిష్టను ఎంతగా దెబ్బతీశారో ముఖ్యమంత్రి చంద్రబాబు గారి మాటల ద్వారా తెలిసింది. దేవుడి ప్రసాదంలో నెయ్యికి బదులు జంతువుల కొవ్వుని వైయస్ జగన్ మనుషులు వాడారని తెలిసి షాక్‌కి గురయ్యాను. #AndhraPradesh #Tirumala pic.twitter.com/TeVvhpodhz

This is diversionary politics. People are expressing their anger at hundred days of Naidu’s rule, asking what happened to their ‘super six’ (poll promises). To divert people's attention, this story has been concocted.
