Illicit liquor claimed one more life, and will Jagan call this too natural, asks Lokesh

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh on Wednesday referred to “one more death” of a resident of Jangareddygudem in West Godavari district, and wondered if Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy would term this too as natural.

Addressing the media, Mr. Lokesh said the wife of the victim had clearly said that her husband, Varadarajulu, had fallen ill after consuming illicit liquor and died while undergoing treatment in Guntur General Hospital.

Mr. Lokesh said the ruling party leaders had contradictory views on the “hooch tragedy.” While the Chief Minister called all the fatalities as natural, a Minister said four to five deaths were due to consumption of illicit liquor.
