“Prakash Raj, We’ll Cut Your Tongue!”

Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan and actor Prakash Raj, known for their electrifying on-screen chemistry in films like Jalsa and Badri, now find themselves at odds over their political ideologies.

Recently, Pawan Kalyan raised concerns about the alleged adulteration of the sacred Tirupati laddus, claiming that the ghee contained animal fats.

Prakash Raj swiftly criticized Pawan Kalyan, suggesting he was turning a local issue into a national controversy, and urged him to investigate the matter as a Deputy Chief Minister. He accused Pawan Kalyan of inflaming communal tensions.

Janasena leader Kiran Royal has made threatening remarks towards Prakash Raj, accusing him of being an atheist.

Speaking to the media, Kiran Royal stated that they do not take Prakash Raj’s comments seriously, claiming he lacks belief in gods and prefers pubs.

He emphasized that Raj crossed a line by criticizing Tirupati laddus, warning, “If anyone speaks against the laddu again, we’ll cut their tongues.” Royal asserted that this issue goes beyond politics, highlighting deep emotional ties to the holy prasadam.

The central government has also taken notice, with Union Health Minister JP Nadda requesting a report from the Andhra Pradesh government, and Food Minister Pralhad Joshi calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations.
