Alleging that illicit liquor and ‘J’ brand liquor were responsible for the deaths in Jangareddygudem in West Godavari district, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday accused Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of causing misery to many families in his quest for making easy money.

In a teleconference with the party leaders and cadres, Mr. Naidu asked them to stage State-wide protests on March 19 and 20 (Saturday and Sunday) to mount pressure on the State government to initiate effective steps to curb sale of illicit liquor and country arrack. “Involve the people in the demonstrations,” he told the leaders.
