Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has hit back at YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy over his claims that the state government obstructed his visit to Tirumala.

Chandrababu Naidu maintained that while traditions at the temple must be upheld, no one had issued Jagan Reddy any notices to prevent him from entering.

Chandrababu Naidu slammed Jagan Mohan Reddy for claiming TDP-led government obstructed his visit to Tirumala temple, saying "He is spreading lies".

In a scathing attack, former CM and YSRCP leader Jagan Mohan Reddy accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of lying about the Tirupati Laddu Prasadam controversy. Reddy alleged that Naidu's government obstructed his temple visit and spread false claims about the prasadam's ingredients to divert political focus.

Naidu emphasized the importance of respecting the temple’s traditions and denied claims that Reddy was being barred from entering.
