Accused in the fake liquor case, Janardhan Rao, has revealed shocking details about the liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh. The state government acted quickly and arrested those involved in the case.
In a new viral video, Janardhan Rao accused former minister and YSRCP leader Jogi Ramesh of ordering him to make fake liquor. Rao said he has known Jogi Ramesh since childhood and admitted he produced the liquor on his instructions.
Rao stated that he stopped making illegal liquor after Chandrababu’s government came to power. But in April, he claimed, Jogi Ramesh contacted him and told him to restart production to damage the image of Chandrababu’s government.
Although the plan began in Ibrahimpatnam, they shifted operations to Tamballapalle. Rao said he rented a room under another name and started making fake liquor there. Ramesh reportedly told him the goal was to tarnish the TDP government’s image and promised financial help.
Later, Rao said he was sent to his friend in Africa. Soon after, a raid took place following what he claimed was a leak from Jogi Ramesh. When Chandrababu suspended TDP members, Ramesh allegedly came up with a new plan and ordered Rao to move the liquor to an Ibrahimpatnam godown before leaking information again.
Rao said Sakshi media was prepared to report the story. According to him, Ramesh assured him that everything was under control and promised to arrange bail. But he later betrayed Rao, dragged his brother’s name into the case, and left him to face the consequences. Rao also clarified that his friend Jai Chandra Reddy from Africa had no role in the scam.
“I am revealing the truth because Jogi Ramesh cheated and backstabbed me,” Janardhan Rao said in the video, which is now going viral on social media.
