Spurious liquor is the biggest scam in the country

Visakhapatnam, October 10,YSRCP Women’s Wing State President and MLC Varudu Kalyani launched a scathing attack on the coalition government, calling it a fake regime that is drowning Andhra Pradesh in spurious liquor. Speaking to the media at the YSRCP office in Visakhapatnam, she said everything under Chandrababu Naidu’s rule had turned adulterated – drinking water, medicines in hospitals, children’s meals, and most dangerously, liquor.
“During Y.S. Jagan’s tenure, Andhra Pradesh was known as Vidya Andhra and Vaidya Andhra. But under Chandrababu, it has been reduced to Madhya Andhra Pradesh. Today, one in every three liquor bottles sold is spurious. TDP leaders have converted spurious liquor brewing into a cottage industry,” she stated.
Kalyani termed it the biggest scam in the country, citing the Mulakalacheruvu bust where 17,000 liters of spurious liquor worth Rs. 1.75 crore were seized. She criticised that TDP leaders, constituency in-charges, and their relatives of running factories near Vijayawada and Eluru, with the racket even stretching to Visakhapatnam. “Excise officials themselves confirmed TDP’s involvement, yet the government punished a woman CI who exposed it, instead of prosecuting the culprits,” she said.
She demanded a CBI probe, reminding that YSRCP MP Mithun Reddy had already written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. She also flayed Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan for his silence despite his past criticism of liquor.
“This is not governance, it is mafia raj. This is not a coalition government, it is a fake regime of spurious liquor. The people’s court will soon deliver its verdict,” Kalyani said
