Samajwadi Party’s Dimple Yadav Calls for Inquiry into Tirupati Prasadam Controversy

September 22, 2024, 7:13 pm

Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav raised serious concerns on Sunday over reports of substandard ingredients, including animal fat, allegedly being used in the preparation of the famous Tirupati Laddu Prasadam. Yadav called for an investigation into the matter, emphasizing the need for scrutiny in cases involving food adulteration. “No cognizance is being taken about the adulteration in the common man’s food. An inquiry should be carried out into this sensitive matter,” she stated, noting similar incidents have occurred elsewhere, such as in Vrindavan.

Allegations Against the Previous Government

The controversy erupted after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu alleged that substandard ingredients, including animal fat, were used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus during the tenure of the previous Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government. The Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple, located in the Tirumala hills of Andhra Pradesh’s Tirupati district, is widely revered, and the allegations have caused a stir among devotees.

Congress leader Pawan Khera also demanded a fast-track inquiry into the alleged use of animal fat in the prasadam. He expressed concerns over the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer’s denial of the adulteration claims. “This kind of atmosphere is bad for the faith of crores of devotees. A fast-track inquiry should take place, and the strictest punishment to the guilty must be meted out,” Khera asserted.

Advocate Alleges “Attack on Hindu Sentiments”

Advocate K Karuna Sagar accused the previous YSRCP government of using animal fat in the Laddu Prasadam, describing it as a “conspiracy” against Hindu sentiments. “The Laddu Prasadam offered at Tirupati is world-famous for its divinity, sanctity, and quality. I was shocked and surprised after seeing the lab reports confirming that the low-quality ghee used contained beef, pork, and fish oil,” Sagar stated.

Political Allegations from Pawan Kalyan

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan claimed that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board was altered for political gain under the previous YSRCP government, leading to various scams. He alleged that worship protocols were changed, and over 300 temples were desecrated during that period. Kalyan also mentioned that “contaminated” laddus were sent to Ayodhya from TTD during the YSRCP regime, raising questions about adherence to religious protocols.

Response from YS Jagan Mohan Reddy

In response to these allegations, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) of “politicizing religious matters,” dismissing the claims made by the opposition parties.

The controversy has stirred significant concern among devotees and political leaders, with calls for an in-depth investigation into the matter to maintain the sanctity and quality of the Tirupati Laddu Prasadam.

Satyendra Narayan Sinha and Kishori Sinha

Bihar also witnessed two instances of married couples serving as MPs, with Satyendra Narayan Sinha and Kishori Sinha achieving this feat twice—in 1980 and 1984.

Satyendra Narayan Sinha shifted political affiliations multiple times, from Congress to Congress-O and later to the Janata Party, whereas Kishori Sinha contested and won her elections as a Congress candidate in 1980 and 1984.

Pappu Yadav and Ranjeet Ranjan

Another MP couple from Bihar, Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav and Ranjeet Ranjan, were elected as MPs simultaneously twice, representing different political parties.

Dharmendra and Hema Malini

During the tenure of the second Manmohan Singh government, actor-politician couple Dharmendra and Hema Malini were both elected to Parliament, though they served in different Houses.

Congress Gears Up: Parliamentary Party Meeting Set for Tomorrow Morning

December 19, 2023, 6:16 pm

Against the backdrop of heightened political tensions between the Opposition and the BJP-led central government, the Congress Parliamentary Party is set to hold a crucial meeting tomorrow morning in Parliament. The meeting, scheduled to commence at 9:30 am, will be chaired by Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.

The political turmoil stems from the demand for a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the recent breach of security in Parliament. A record-breaking 141 MPs have been suspended from both Houses, marking an unprecedented move that has fueled controversy and triggered widespread protests.

Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal played a pivotal role in initiating the motion to suspend the members. On Tuesday, 49 opposition MPs, including prominent figures like Farooq Abdullah, Supriya Sule, Dimple Yadav, and Shashi Tharoor, faced suspension from Lok Sabha for the remainder of the winter session. This followed the suspension of 33 MPs on the previous day for alleged “misconduct.”

The cumulative effect of these suspensions has brought the total number of opposition parliamentarians barred from both Houses to 141. The winter session, set to conclude on December 22, has witnessed a significant escalation in confrontations between the ruling party and the Opposition, with demands for accountability and transparency at the forefront of the political discourse. The Congress Parliamentary Party meeting is expected to address these critical issues and strategize the party’s approach moving forward.

Security breach in Lok Sabha, intruders jump from visitor’s gallery

December 13, 2023, 2:19 pm

In a major security breach in Parliament on Wednesday (December 13, 2023), two men jumped from the visitors gallery into the area where MPs sit in the Lok Sabha. The incident took place at 1:02 PM when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Khagen Murmu, who represents Maldaha Uttar (West Bengal), was speaking during Zero Hour. BJP MP from Meerut Rajendra Agrawal was in the Speaker’s Chair.

After landing, the two men carrying smoke canisters from which yellow coloured smoke was comin out, ran into the Lok Sabha chamber as security personnel tried to stop them.

The video footage of the incident shows a man who was not identified leaping from the Lok Sabha’s visitor’s gallery, followed by a small disturbance. Taking a serious note of the security breach, Lok Speaker Om Birla issued a statement which read, “We are investigating the matter and have asked Delhi Police to join the inquiry.”

“Suddenly two young men around 20 years old jumped into the House from the visitor’s gallery and had canisters in their hand. These canisters were emitting yellow smoke. One of them was attempting to run towards the Speaker’s chair. They were shouting some slogans. The smoke could have been poisonous. This is a serious breach of security especially on 13th December, the day when Parliament was attacked in 2001,” Congres MP Karti Chidambaram said.

Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav alleged a “complete security lapse”. “All those who come here – be it visitors or reporters – they don’t carry tags. So, I think the government should pay attention to this. I think this is complete security lapse. Anything could have happened inside the Lok Sabha,” she said.

“Two young men jumped from the gallery and something was hurled by them from which gas was emitting. They were caught by MPs, and they were brought out by security personnel. The House was adjourned till 2 pm. This is certainly a security breach because today we observed the death anniversary of people who sacrificed their lives in 2001 (Parliament attack),” Chowdhury said.

The incident comes on the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on Parliament, which then used to function from the old building. The attack on 13 December 2001, was carried out by terrorists from Pakistan-funded and trained Jaish-e-Mohammed group

September 20, 2023, 5:22 pm

Dimple Yadav, a member of the Samajwadi Party, stated during the Wednesday Lok Sabha debate on the women’s reservation bill that it was crucial that women from other underrepresented groups and backward castes also benefit from it.

“Without revolution, evolution is not possible. For evolution to take place in our country, it is very important that women from OBC, SC and minorities get reservation…,” she said.
“Samajwadi Party has been demanding that women belonging to backward class, and minority community should also be given reservation. I want to ask will this reservation be applicable in Rajya Sabha and Legislative Councils in addition to Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas,” she said.

She also enquired about the government’s plans to implement this Bill, should it pass, in the upcoming Assembly and general elections. Later this year, elections for state assemblies are scheduled in Telangana, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Mizoram. She also inquired as to whether a caste-based census would be conducted and when the government would begin its annual count. The new women’s reservation bill, as it has been presented to the Parliament, states that it will go into effect following the completion of the decennial census and the constituency delimitation process. The 2020 Decennial Census has not yet begun, despite being scheduled for that year.
