Vijayawada, March 15 : Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday said that the legislators of the Opposition Telugu Desam Party deliberately created ruckus in the Legislative Assembly for the second consecutive day on Jangareddygudem deaths issue even though the government had already given clarification in the house on the issue and told them to behave in a civilized manner. Reddy said the Telugu Desam Party leaders should apply basic logic and wondered how someone could brew illicit liquor in Jangareddygudem, which has a population of 55,000 and where the entire government machinery has its full presence. Preparing illicit liquor may be possible in remote places and it’s not easy to prepare in a m cipality like Jangareddygudem, he said a Special Enforcement Bureau was set up and 13,000 cases were registered which shows the commitment of the government on curbing illicit liquor. The Chief Minister flayed a section of media for distorting his statement on average deaths in the m cipality and said the records made it clear that the death rate is two percent across the country and considering the population of Jangareddygudem as 55,000, there would be 1000 deaths per year which means 90 deaths per month. He said the deaths didn’t occur at a single place and happened over a period of one week at multiple locations and their funeral was also completed without any problem. Reddy reminded that it was the government that took initiative and ordered for postmortem which shows our sincerity. TDP National President and Leader of the Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu and a section of media had been deliberately spreading false information against the state government for their vested interests, he said and stated that the government would welcome and note the suggestions of opposition through appropriate forums. The Chief Minister said it’s up to their wish if they want to get suspended with inappropriate behaviour. Expressing shock over the remarks of Naidu on Jangareddygudem deaths, Reddy said the opposition leader claimed that the state government had taken Rs 25,000 crore loan through Beverages Corporation and also preparing ground for another Rs 25,000 crore loan and in the same breath he was telling that government has been encouraging hooch, unmindful of the fact that state revenues will fall with illicit liquor. He made the statement in the wake of the incorporation of new business rules of the Legislative Assembly which says that members who enter the well of the House be automatically suspended. DP CS1705
