Chennai: Andhra Pradesh BJP president Somu Veerraju on Tuesday promised quality liquor for Rs 70 if one crore liquor consumers in the state vote for Bharatiya Janata Party in the Parliamentary Elections 2024. 

According to a tweet on ANI, BJP state president said, "Cast one crore votes to Bharatiya Janata Party...we will provide liquor for just Rs 70. If we have more revenue left, then, will provide liquor for just Rs 50."

Currently, a quarter bottle of liquor is sold at Rs 200 in Andhra Pradesh. 

Addressing a public rally in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, Veerraju alleged that the state government has been selling fake brands of liquor for higher prices and has restricted the sale of known brands of liquor in the state.

He said, the people consuming liquor are spending nearly Rs 12,000 per month and the state government is using the same amount to implement another scheme for them. 

Hence, the BJP state president promised to provide 'quality' liquor at Rs 75 per bottle and even Rs 50 per bottle once the revenue improves if the one-crore people consuming liquor in the state vote for the BJP. 

Somu Veerraju also alleged that the ruling party leaders are providing cheap liquor from their liquor factories to the government for sales.

Meanwhile on another hand, sales have increased 20 percent due to the drop in liquor prices in the state. The Andhra Pradesh government reduced the price of liquor from 15-20 percent from December 19.
