She took exception to any move to open liquor shops amid the hardships faced by the poor in the lockdown

The State government was also accountable to the funds released by the Union government, she said at a press conference here.

The YSR Congress Partythat came to power promising waiver of DWCRA loans should give relief by releasing the first instalment now, she said.
