Allegations of Rampant Illegal Liquor Sales Under Naidu Regime in Tirupati
In a scathing accusation, YSR Congress party MP from Tirupati, Maddila Gurumoorthy, has condemned the large-scale illegal liquor sales taking place in the holy city under the watch of the Telugu Desam Party-led coalition government. Gurumoorthy’s statement on Monday has brought to light the purported proliferation of the illicit liquor trade in Tirupati, a major pilgrimage site in Andhra Pradesh.
According to the MP, the illegal liquor business has been rampant in the region during the tenure of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s administration. Gurumoorthy alleged that the influential members of the ruling party are complicit in the flourishing of this black market, undermining the state’s efforts to curb the sale of unauthorized and potentially hazardous alcoholic beverages.
The YSR Congress party leader’s scathing remarks come at a time when the state government has been grappling with the challenge of regulating the liquor trade and ensuring public safety. Tirupati, known for its renowned Hindu temple and as a hub of spiritual and religious tourism, has now become a focal point of this contentious issue.
Gurumoorthy’s accusations have sparked a heated debate, with the opposition party calling for a thorough investigation into the matter. The MP has demanded strict action against the perpetrators involved in the illegal liquor trade, asserting that the authorities must take immediate steps to address this pressing concern.
The alleged prevalence of the illicit liquor business in Tirupati has raised serious questions about the effectiveness of the state government’s policies and the ability of law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order in the region. As the controversy unfolds, the public eye will be firmly fixed on the response of the Naidu administration and its efforts to address this contentious issue that has the potential to tarnish the reputation of the holy city.
