Yesterday, my security officer said just one thing: Chandrababu

Proddatur: TDP chief Chandrababu's public journey entered Kadapa district today. Chandrababu attended a massive public meeting organized at Puttaparthi Circle in Proddatur. During this event, he revealed an interesting detail.

"My security officer said just one thing yesterday. He said, 'Sir, with a lot of sadness, I don't know what you can do... You're not in power... but I want to bring something to your attention.'

'Cannabis has become a dangerously prevalent issue in the state, sir... Children, knowingly or unknowingly, are becoming slaves to it... their lives are being destroyed,' he said.

This is a real incident that happened in Vijayawada. There are thousands of such instances. A person belonging to the BC community in Vijayawada runs a salon. His wife earns Rs. 30,000 a month from a small job. They live in a rented house in a colony.

Cannabis usage has entered that colony. Their son also got addicted to cannabis. It became an addiction for him. Thinking that their son would get better if they enrolled him in a hostel, the parents did so.

However, the boy addicted to cannabis ran away from the hostel and wandered around... he came back home. As his family restricted him, he started stealing at home for money. He used that money to buy cannabis. As a result, they admitted their son to a rehabilitation center in Hyderabad and spent Rs. 5 lakhs. Imagine the pain of the parents whose child was ruined in such a way. What if your children end up the same way?

The state is ruining people's lives and health with J brand liquor. When I was in power, a bottle of liquor was Rs. 60... How much are they selling it for now? If one doesn't get a kick from drinking it, they buy another quarter. In this way, they are spending Rs. 400 a day. Think about what will happen to your family without food or shelter!

Where is all this money going? What if you still don't become aware? The one who is drinking your blood is Jagan Mohan Reddy. Can't you review the situation with cannabis? Have you been acting like a dummy chief minister for five years? I am telling you... If I become the chief minister, within 100 days, if there's anyone selling cannabis in the state, they won't have a place on this earth... That's my governance.

In addition to cannabis, now drugs have also come in. 25,000 kilos of drugs have come to Visakhapatnam. The incapable dummies are criticizing me. If I were the CM... I would have crushed those who imported them, those who supported them, and thrown them into jail... That's the capability of the Telugu Desam Party.

Jagan Reddy... Stop talking nonsense, stop talking words that destroy the society. You're leading the race to destruction. Once, I brought the IT revolution and sent Telugu youth all around the world.

But now, our youth are becoming impotent due to cannabis, J brand liquor, and drugs... That's my sorrow, my lament, and my fury. Even though I called for a meeting in the hot sun today, the fact that you all came in large numbers shows how much resentment you have against this government," Chandrababu passionately stated.
