Andhra Pradesh BJP chief Somu Veerraju’s comments on cheap liquor at a public meeting gave a chance for the political parties that are against the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) to target the saffron party and take a dig at the party for its stand in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Telangana Municipal Administration and IT Minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao was quick in reacting to the BJP leader’s comments. He asked how the party can make such comments. His tweet on Somu Veerraju’s comments went viral instantly.
Hitting back at those who are mocking him over his comments, Somu Veerraju said that he made the promise to the public to benefit them. By selling the cheap liquor for Rs 50, every poor family would save Rs 2 lakh every year. All the comments I made will be incorporated in the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) manifesto for the 2024 elections.
I am not Sarayi Veerraju, Rice Veerraju, Cement Veerraju, Eggs Veerraju, the chief of the Andhra Pradesh wing of BJP said. His reverse comments became a big topic as to whom he is targeting with his comments.
Somu Veerraju who spoke to a media channel on the issue made sensational comments saying that he knows what people who call him Sarayi Veerraju drink. Taking a dig at KTR, the AP BJP asked KTR’s father KCR does till 3 AM?
Based on time and situation, BJP is speaking on the issues. The BJP manifesto will have all the comments I have made incorporated. The party has the solution for every issue in Andhra Pradesh, he said.
On the occasion, he brought a new demand that King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam should be renamed. Who is King George? Who is King and who is George? It’s important to have names of good samaritans to the hospital. We are considering Sardar Gouthu Latchanna’s name for the hospital, he said.
For the unversed, Dr. Gouthu Latchanna was a great freedom fighter, who hails from Vizag. Before independence, he fought against the British, and after India became independent, he fought for the rights of the farmers. He breathed his last in 2006.
