The TDP took a dig at the State government for announcing sops to distilleries in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, party Polit Bureau member Uppuleti Kalpana said the government was encouraging the distilleries and liquor barons with its policies and sops through GOs 1018 and 1019.
The government was encouraging people to become drunkards to fill its coffers, she said.
“It is painful that the government is encouraging liquor consumption and backing liquor traders instead of supplying drinking water and providing other basic amenities to people,” she said.
The YSR Congress had been alleging that the Kiran Kumar Reddy government was surviving only with the support of the TDP, as the ruling and the principal opposition parties were into match-fixing.
No-trust move
The no-confidence motion would prove who was into match-fixing with whom. Let the YSR Congress support the no-confidence motion, she said.
Reacting to Secondary Education Minister K. Parthsarathy's statement that the Congress would romp home in the 2014 elections, she said: “Leave alone Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy becoming Chief Minister once again, Mr. Parthsarathy will not win. The Congress will be wiped out in the district,” she added.
