The Andhra Pradesh liquor scam is becoming a serious issue for the YSR Congress Party. Several key leaders, including MP Midhun Reddy, have already been arrested and are now facing legal action in connection with this scam.
For the first time, the SIT has mentioned former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the chargesheet filed last week. This happened just before Midhun Reddy was taken into custody.
If Midhun Reddy’s evidence links directly to Jagan, it could cause major trouble for the YSRCP chief. In this context, leading newspapers like Eenadu and Andhra Jyothi published reports this morning calling Jagan the “Big Boss” of the liquor scam.
According to these reports, nearly ₹3,500 crore was earned through the scam. The entire operation was reportedly overseen by Raj Kasireddy, who is currently in jail. Midhun Reddy is said to have handled the technical part and is being called the “Ring Master.”
At the top of the chain, the reports say, is YS Jagan, who is being named as the “Big Boss.” The scam was reportedly run with a clear and well-planned strategy. Every month, ₹50 to ₹60 crore was allegedly made through this illegal liquor business, with Jagan being the final recipient.
The reports claim that Raj Kasireddy collected the money and passed it on to Midhun Reddy, Vijay Sai Reddy, and others, who then transferred it to Jagan.
The SIT’s investigation now appears even stronger with the support of these media reports. With the “Big Boss” now named, it remains to be seen what kind of action will be taken. Big consequences are likely in the coming days.
