The Hindu
They also raised slogans against the liquor mafi
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM)‘s NTR district unit organised a signature campaign demanding that the YSRCP government crack down on gangs involved in ganja smuggling, at Lenin Centre in Vijayawada on Friday.
Amid ‘We want drugs-free Andhra Pradesh’ slogans, BJP State secretary N. Ramesh Naidu said that smuggling had become rampant in Andhra Pradesh and that the YSRCP government has failed in curbing the menace.
They also raised slogans against the liquor mafia that was producing substandard quality of alcohol and selling it at high prices, thereby minting money. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s promise of prohibition was confined to rhetoric, the activists said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
