Former MLA Bonda Umamaheswara Rao has said that Andhra Pradesh (AP) has become a hub for cheap liquor and drugs businesses, and that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s promise to impose total prohibition is confined to rhetoric.
Addressing the media along with State BJP chief spokesperson Lanka Dinakar and JSP’s Gade Venkateswara Rao on April 11 (Thursday), Mr. Umamaheswara Rao insisted that a large number of people either died or were suffering from chronic diseases of the kidney and liver due to consumption of cheap liquor, which the TDP-BJP-JSP combine would expose after forming the government.
Alleging that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy personally benefited from these illegal businesses, the TDP leader reiterated that “cash has been despatched to all parts of the State in containers to lure voters.”
