Liquor scam, fake, political vendetta, real, says Kasu Mahesh Reddy

Narasaraopet, May 18: Former MLA and YSRCP senior leader Kasu Mahesh Reddy criticized the coalition government, calling it a faction-driven regime that is misusing power to silence the opposition. He said the government is trying to scuttle opposition voices by creating false cases and arresting those close to Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the name of a liquor scam which is fake.
Speaking to media here on Sunday, he accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of running the state with vengeance and fear, using police like party workers. Mahesh Reddy said even honest officers like former IAS Dhanunjaya Reddy and OSD Krishna Mohan Reddy are being jailed without any proof. He warned that those misusing power today will be made accountable when YSRCP returns to power.
Mahesh Reddy questioned how liquor shops are  now being run mostly by leaders from Telugu Desam and its allies, selling the same brands at higher prices. He said the past government kept liquor sales in public hands, but now it is in the control of ruling party members.
He added that the government has failed to fulfill any promise in its first year and public anger is rising. He said YSRCP continues to get strong support from people and the coalition’s fear of this support is driving its misuse of power.
