'Mangalsutra Bachao' against Liquor Policy

Telangana TDP Mahila Vibhag chairman Shobha Rani on Wednesday announced that her party would launch a 'Mangalsutra Bachao Andolan' against the proposed cheap liquor policy of TRS Government.

Addressing a press conference at NTR Trust Bhavan here, Shobha Rani said that the TDP Mahila Vibhag would organise massive dharnas at Excise offices across the State on October 2. Later, dharnas would be conducted at all District Collectorates and Secretariat would be seized. She said that her party would mobilise women across the State to launch 'Mangalsutra Bachao Andolan'.

Shobha Rani said that the cheap liquor policy would ruin the lives of thousands of poor families. She also condemned Excise Minister T. Padma Rao for addressing a presser by keeping liquor bottles on his table. She alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is habitual of drinking liquor and he wants the same habit to be inculcated by all persons in the State.
