The Communist Party of India (CPI) in Andhra Pradesh has demanded that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre order a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged liquor scam in the State.
Addressing the media here on Monday, CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna said the liquor shops in the State sold spurious liquor at exorbitant prices, and accused the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) of benefiting from such unethical practices. The harmful ingredients in liquor affected the health of the people severely leading to several deaths, Mr. Ramakrishna alleged.
