The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has leveled serious allegations against the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) regarding their alleged connection to a high-profile drug seizure case in Visakhapatnam. The controversy erupted after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seized a staggering 25,000 kilograms of drugs from a container at the Visakhapatnam Port.

TDP's national spokesperson, Jyothsna Tirunagari, alleged that the ruling party has close ties with Sandhya Aqua Exports, the Visakhapatnam-based private company linked to the seized drugs. She accused YSRCP government of exacerbating the drug menace in the state through administrative mismanagement. Additionally, she took a dig at YSRCP MP V. Vijaysai Reddy alleging his purported "Brazilian connection."

According to the DPR report, TDP MP Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar said, "Andhra Pradesh leads in drugs... The state government is involved in all this that's why we filed a complaint... In the absence of direct evidence, inference can be taken from circumstantial evidence. Circumstances put together, directly lead to the YSRCP government."

"The YSRCP government is directly or indirectly involved in the drug mafia... Under the name of dried yeast, it contains six kinds of drugs, and now they have been sent to forensics. The drugs are being utilised in liquor manufactured by the government and private companies under them," he said. 

Further, the MP said that thousands of crores of scams were ongoing in Andhra Pradesh and what happened in Delhi was not a scam at all. He said, "CBI and ED are required for investigation in this state... Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia were put behind bars for Rs 45-50 crores scam, by this logic, our CM will be put behind bars for a lifetime."
