Suspended YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLA and former Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy on Thursday asked Bharatiya Janata Party State president Daggubati Purandeswari to convince the Centre to order a comprehensive probe into the liquor scam allegedly perpetrated by the ruling YSRCP in the State.
Addressing the media here, Mr. Ramanarayana Reddy said, ‘‘It is not enough for the State BJP chief to come before the media and talk about the massive liquor scam. It is the BJP which is in power at the Centre. It is for her to impress upon Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on the need for an in-depth probe by Central investigation agencies like the Serious Fraud Investigation Office and Enforcement Directorate. Submission of memoranda will not suffice.“
