YSRCP converted Vizag into ‘drugs capital’ instead of Executive capital, alleges TDP

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has turned Visakhapatnam into a ‘drugs capital’ instead of Executive capital, alleges the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Terming YSRCP president and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as “Andhra Escobar,” TDP official spokesperson K. Pattabhi Ram, while addressing the media at the party office at Mangalagiri on March 22 (Friday), alleged that YSRCP leader Koonam Veerabhadra Rao’s Sandhya Aqua Export Pvt. Limited had imported 25,000 kg dried yeast reportedly mixed with drugs from Brazil.

The TDP leader said the CBI had seized the consignment, the value of which was estimated to be around ₹50,000 crore.
