Rebutting the Telugu Desam Party’s allegation that the deaths that had been reported at Jangareddygudem in West Godavari district recently were due to consumption of cheap liquor, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday asserted that it was all malicious propaganda unleashed at the behest of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that the deaths were natural, and that the members of the bereaved families were upset with the “politicisation of the tragedy” that had struck them.
