What happened
YSR Congress Party state president Gunda Surendra criticized the TDP coalition government in Andhra Pradesh for arresting two young men who questioned liquor sales on social media. One man was arrested after posting that liquor was sold above the maximum retail price, while the other was arrested for using the AP Excise Suraksha app to report suspected fake liquor. Gunda Surendra also demanded an inquiry into reported adulterated liquor sales at 143 wine shops in Visakhapatnam.
