BJP Promises Liquor At Rs 70 In Exchange For 1 Crore Votes!

Vijayawada: Politicians are known to make promises to woo voters in election season. It’s another matter that most of them are not fulfilled.

Here’s one more promise, this time from the BJP. People in Andhra Pradesh will be able to purchase good quality liquor at just Rs 70 if the party receives one crore votes during the 2024 state Assembly elections, vowed BJP’s Andhra president Somu Veerraju.

“Liquor is being sold under labels like ‘Special Status’, ‘Governor’s Medal’. They are not selling branded liquor. They talked about full liquor prohibition but are making and selling brandy,” he said, referring to the Jaganmohan Reddy-headed YSR Congress state government.

“Cast one crore votes to Bharatiya Janata Party… we will provide liquor for just Rs 70. If we have more revenue left, then, will provide liquor for just Rs 50,” he added.

Veerraju went on to accuse the state government of producing and selling spurious liquor.

“You (state government) are drinking people’s blood. Every month a person spends Rs 12,000 on liquor. Government is taking this money and giving it back in the guise of welfare schemes,” he alleged.
