Protesting against liquor sales, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Daggubati Purandeswari, along with Mahila Morcha activists, smashed liquor bottles on the main road at Narsapuram in West Godavari district on Thursday.
They alleged that many were losing their lives owing to the consumption of spurious and substandard liquor.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Purandeswari said the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), which promised to ban liquor in the State, was now focussed on liquor sales. “Law-and-order situation in A.P. has deteriorated... Many industrialists were shifting their units to the neighbouring State, forcing the educated youth to go to other places in search of jobs,” Ms. Purandeswari alleged.
