Applications are being filed from the Supreme Court to the High Court. Union Minister Giriraj Singh has even demanded death sentence for the culprits. At the same time, Congress has raised questions on CM Naidu as to why the CM did not disclose for three months. Now Congress has demanded a CBI inquiry. The question is whether the quality and purity of the Prasad was compromised in giving the contract to the ghee supplying company or is the issue of animal fat in the Prasad being heated only for political profit and loss?
