Jagan To Be Arrested Sooner Than Later

Will Jagan be arrested in Liqor Scam. The announcement by AP CM Chandrababu Naidu to have the CID investigate the liquor policy implemented during the YCP regime has ignited a heated political debate. While the TDP claims irregularities and corruption, the YCP argues the policy was implemented to reduce alcohol consumption.

The investigation aims to uncover the decision-making process behind the YCP's liquor policy, which included:

Government control: The government took control of the liquor trade, replacing private liquor shops.

Distillery acquisition: Existing distilleries were taken over, and the government prioritized locally produced liquor.

Price increase: Liquor prices were hiked by 200%, ostensibly to discourage consumption.

Cash transactions: Direct cash transactions continued in all stores.

The TDP alleges that this policy was a front for YCP leaders to benefit financially, claiming they controlled distilleries and introduced specific brands to gain lucrative loans. They also point to the lack of digital transactions, making it difficult to track the flow of money.

However, the YCP provided details about the brands involved, asserting that they only implemented brands introduced by the TDP during their tenure (2014-19). They even presented documents with Chandrababu's signature to the Assembly.

This raises the question of who truly benefitted from the policy change – a complex issue with potential political ramifications.

The investigation is expected to be lengthy due to the lack of digital records and the challenge of proving wrongdoing based solely on cash transactions.

While Chandrababu's strategy might be to damage the YCP's reputation and potentially lead to Jagan's arrest, the lack of concrete evidence and the possibility of a Delhi-style political aspect make the outcome uncertain.

Ultimately, the investigation's success hinges on finding substantial evidence to support the TDP's claims. It remains to be seen whether this investigation will yield definitive results or simply become another political battleground.
