CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a major development shaking Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape, a sitting YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Member of Parliament has been arrested in connection with a ₹3,200 crore liquor scam. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and state investigative agencies carried out the arrest following months of investigation into illegal liquor trade, money laundering, and financial misappropriation involving political links.
The scam allegedly involves manipulation of liquor distribution networks, illicit approvals, and diversion of profits into shell companies. The MP’s role is said to be central in facilitating the nexus between bureaucrats and liquor syndicates. This arrest has intensified political tensions in the state, with opposition parties demanding a wider probe and accusing the ruling party of deep-rooted corruption.
YSRCP has not issued a formal statement, while public reaction remains mixed. The arrest also raises serious questions about political accountability and transparency in governance. Experts believe this case could have significant ramifications for the upcoming state elections and may influence public sentiment on corruption in high offices.
With ₹3,200 crore at the center of the investigation, this case is likely to dominate headlines for weeks to come.
