Tirupati Laddu

 After the Karnataka 's Nandi Milk ,it's now the turn of Ex-CM of AP Mr JaganReddy government who has been solely blamedfor adulteration of south famous Sri Venkateshwara swamy Prasad Laddus,by the ruling CM ,CBN.It came as shock to the devotees world over, that substandard ingredients animal fat oil, were used in Laddus,which was confirmed  by Gujarat  based Live stock laboratory, More than Laddu it's political wrangling between CBN& Jagan, which has caused severe damage to the sanctity of prasadamand temple.I think it's clearly proved that whole Laddu prasadam episode has come as " varaprasadam " for both Naidu and PK.Instead of directing the TTD to book the supplier of adulterated Ghee ,Both of them are adulterating sentiments of the people with politics,and no wonder CM leading Shanti pariharam while DCM is performing Deeksha in Guntur,The disunity itself proves that both want to take credit for fighting for devotees.

Primafecie ,I have some doubts , .Why didn't the staff mixing ingredients of Laddus get foul smell during it's preparation if it's mixed with animal fat material? Are there proper checks whether fresh stock is supplied or rejected material is again sent with new tags? What roles are being played by all concerned responsible staff to maintain  quality everyday .

Its also surprising to note and find, that AP Govt took nearly two months to make the lab report public .Moreover it's reported that EO TTD had in his press conference during July this year ,upon receiving the said lab report" disclosed"that the Ghee supplied was adulterated with vegetable oil.But now EOafter CM's press-meet ,changed his statement by toeing the CM's line .Perhaps ruling clique wants to shoot two birds at one shot I.e. character assassination of Jagan inaddition to nailing the previous TTD board .

Now even Central Govt also is saying that it should  be handed over to CBI,but I totally disagree with it, as CBI is a " caged parrot " in the hands of centre as per the averments of the top courts.,and if you go by the statement of Jagan on this episode, says that important persons from BJP' s top brass are also involved in purchasing/ quality matters etc,so CBI' credibility could be compromised. Better a retired HC judge should probe this matter to establish truth

The Evolution of Rahul Gandhi

IT may be premature to assess Rahul Gandhi' s affectiveness as new leader of the opposition ,but according to many ,including myself,  his initial performance is very promising..After winning the recent LokSabha polls Rahul has been confident and strong both inside and outside the house which is appropriate for an opposition leader.Our great BJP leaders including the top leadership used to mock Rahul as " pappu" and " entitled dynast" staged a remarkable come back in 2024 general election.He became central figure of INDIA alliance that successfully penetrated into BJP stronghold particularly UP,AS heir to renowned Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty Mr Rahul led two nationwide marches ( Bharat jodo etc) against what he termed Modi's politics of hate and fear,revitalizing his party and redefining his own image.
The results of the latest general election significantly boosted his morale, prompting people to view him seriously as leader.Infact he is now recognized as a leader focused on real -life issues- such as unemployment, Women's safety, Manipur violence, NEET Exam paper leaks,rising prices of gas cylinders ,petrol& diesel, caste related issues etc ,Most importantly he is seen as the one who will uphold the spirit of secularism. These factors have collectively reshaped public perception of Rahul .
If you recall ,it's highly commendable that as Leader of the opposition,he posted the following tweet""Winning and loosing happens in life ,I urge every one to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards Smt SmritiIrani or any other leaderfor that matter,Humiliating people is a sign of weakness, not strength " Even if the appeal draws attention of media and public ,every leader including top in BJP needs to follow his appeal ,ITS that a large number of our PM's followers use very abusive language .Whoever is handling PM's social media platform should make sure they are unfollowed.Recently Mrs Smriti Irani also started praising Rahul , Still it's shameful to note the comments of BJP IT cell Chief Amit Malavya,calling Rahul Gandhi's comments as disingenuous  speaks volumes of the mindset of BJP leaders .Rahul Gandhi stood taller by his comments and showed greatness and good gesture.
Rahul's success will depend on his political planning  as he missed some opportunities in past like becoming Minister in MMS cabinet, or strengthening congress party as it's President etc His belief in power of LOP to raise it's voice in parliament gives hope and optimism to the party
