By suddenly mentioning the name of Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy as the sole `king pin’ of the infamous liquor scam during the YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s regime, it has been generating keen interest to know who this `Liquor King’?
Many are associating his name with the son of the former DGP Kasireddy Rajendranath Reddy, known for his proximity with the former chief minister and was made as Police boss ignoring several seniors in the row. But hardly even many YCP leaders know about him in detail.
Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy, who worked as an IT advisor in the previous government, was practically a ‘calm going’ person, not exposed much in the public arena in all these areas. But, now Vijayasai Reddy exposed him as a person who masterminds the entire liquor scam and also engineered the same from behind the scenes.
At that time, there was a lot of criticism against the liquor brands that were introduced in AP without permission created uproar. The TDP was alleging that money was diverted from liquor sales and that some senior officials of the previous government were involved in the sales without digital transactions.
However the YSRCP did not pay much attention to those criticisms at that time. But after the coalition government came to power, it tried to bring to light the behind-the-scenes transactions in the liquor scam. With that, the name of the then APBCL MD Vasudeva Reddy and Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy also came to the fore.
Cases were registered on allegations that they had embezzled government revenue in a business worth thousands of crores. Meanwhile, the investigation is currently ongoing. Recently, Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy’s name has also been brought out in this matter, and his case is becoming more of a topic of discussion.
Now although no one has paid attention to who Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy is so far, after Vijayasai Reddy’s comments he became a prime target in the political circles. Eventually, even YCP sources are inquiring about Kasireddy. In this process, the whole story of Kasireddy is coming out.
Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy seems to be running liquor companies abroad. However, he took charge as an IT advisor when YPC came to power and soon became a key person in Jagan’s team. There is also criticism that he worked as a shadow CM in the previous government.
Although he is an IT advisor by name, there is talk that he has turned the wheel in liquor sales and purchases with his experience. Vasudeva Reddy, who was recently arrested in the AP liquor sales case, also revealed Kasireddy’s name in the CID investigation, saying he had no connection with it.
But since the CID does not know where Kasireddy is, the police are continuing to hunt for him. In this case, some YCP leaders say that it was Vijayasai Reddy who brought Kasireddy closer to Jagan.
