आंध्र प्रदेश शराब घोटाला विस्फोट: शीर्ष वायएसआरसीपी नेताओं की गिरफ्तारी, राजनीतिक आग उठती है

A massive liquor scam worth over ₹3,500 crore has rocked Andhra Pradesh, with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) arresting YSR Congress Party MP PV Midhun Reddy and implicating former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as a recipient of kickbacks. The scam allegedly involved bribes from liquor distillers to YSRCP functionaries, with funds reportedly used to bankroll elections and routed through fake startups and hawala channels. The current TDP-led NDA government is aggressively pursuing the case, while YSRCP leaders claim the investigation is a politically motivated vendetta. The Supreme Court has denied bail to key accused, and the probe may soon involve national and international agencies like the CBI and Interpol. The scandal has triggered a fierce political battle, with both sides trading accusations of corruption and conspiracy.
