It seems once again Jagan Mohan Reddy’s hasty decision back fires at his YSR Congress party. He rushed to Vijayawada and visited the families of five persons died in the spurious liquor case. Later speaking to media, he demands the state government to impose complete ban on liquor sales in the state. He said if TDP government fails to impose ban on liquor, his party will implement it after coming to power. But, it is to be noticed that none of his party leaders backed him in this matter, because some of them are involved in liquor businesses. His unpredicted and hasty demand for ban on liquor leaves them very much embarrassed. They all are not in a position to support him or oppose him over this particular matter.

 

Before Jagan Mohan Reddy realizes this point, TDP leader Somireddy Chandra Mohan Reddy gives him a fitting reply. He reminds Jagan that YSR Congress party leaders are doing liquor business in the state and ask them to close their businesses if he honest with his demand. Even if he insists the government for imposing ban on liquor sales, first he has to answer TDP leaders’ question about his party leaders’ liquor businesses. At the same time, he can't insist his party leaders to quit their liquor businesses. If, insists, they may quit the party rather than their businesses.

 

Perhaps, this is not exactly what Jagan Mohan Reddy expected out of this spurious liquor case! Let us see whether he will still stick to his demand or simply ignore it like he did with his demand for special status.
