Jana Sena Chief Directs Party Cadre to Counter Opposition Narrative on Temple Offering Scandal

In a strategic directive to party leadership, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has called upon Jana Sena Party (JSP) representatives to actively counter what he terms 'systematic misinformation' propagated by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) regarding the ongoing investigation into alleged adulteration of temple offerings. The instruction follows recent findings by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) examining irregularities in sacred food distribution. Kalyan asserts that the purported ghee adulteration incident could not have transpired without complicity from both YSRCP leadership and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) administrative officials. This development signals an escalation in political rhetoric surrounding the religious institution controversy, with the Deputy Chief Minister framing the issue as one requiring proactive political response rather than passive observation. The directive underscores the government's intent to leverage investigative outcomes for political positioning ahead of upcoming electoral cycles, while simultaneously applying pressure on opposition figures and temple administration. Analysts note this represents a calculated move to consolidate Hindu voter sentiment by positioning JSP as defenders of religious sanctity against alleged institutional corruption.
