Liquor Mafia sells alcohol above MRP rates again in Andhra Pradesh

The latest news aired just now in Leading Telugu News channel TV9 about the rise of liquor mafia in some parts of the new Andhra Pradesh state particularly in Ananthapuram is confirming the recent rumor being spread among the people that the ruling Telugu Desam Party has indirectly given a  nod to all its party workers and cadres to make money by hook or crook!

The previous Congress led Government (which ruled for two consecutive terms) could not win even one single seat anywhere in Andhra Pradesh in the past elections due to many reasons, one of them is the 'liquor mafia' led by its then APCC president and excise minister Botcha Satyanarayana and his huge scams related to IMFL and wine shops.

It was earlier reported here about the way how the liquor bottles were sold above the MRP rates in Andhra Pradesh state in 2011 according to the whims and fancies of the wine shop owners at alcohol outlets.

Please refer to our earlier posts about that:

http://popular-opinion.blogspot.in/2011/08/selling-liquor-at-very-high-rates-in.html

And at last the High Court of Andhra Pradesh had to interfere in this matter and direct the liquor syndicate mafia to sell all the brewed spirit at the MRP printed on the bottles.

http://popular-opinion.blogspot.in/2011/10/ap-high-court-orders-to-sell-liquor-at.html

If any persons, parties or governments which came to power by offering many false promises to the voters and once grabbing power think that they cannot be touched, they are wrong. The power of the voters NOW is not NOT as it used to be earlier.

Malayali House Last and Latest Episodes (Grand Finale): Last 6 Finalists Contestants: Season 2 to start

Malayali House is winding up. It is a good news for many but a bad news for some. There were so much outcry and resentment on this program which lasted for more than 100 days.

Many so called celebrities lost many of their fans and followers after participating in this reality show. Some people like G S Pradeep, who was regarded high, was hated by so many people including his own fans for his inability to control his real colour in the house, while moving with the other female contestants.

At the same time some people like Santhosh Pandit, who are always plain spoken and have a transparent behavior could increase his fan-base and got more popularity, though he was out long ago. Many feel that those who hide their real sense and show a different person to the world, could not hide their real colors for long, so were hated and gained the ire of the people. 

Some people could not digest this show's bold moves like some western shows. Many felt that in any reality programs, the participants should never forget that they belong to Kerala, a small state in India, which has got a long and unique tradition different from that of many other countries in the entire world. 

The organizers and the contestants will keep these in mind while announcing and participating in the 'Malayali House Season 2' soon.

Though all the contestants became the victim of abuse and online assault, it was not an easy task remaining in a closed house (like a jail) without any connections with the world for more than 100 long days...! Every one deserves applause for that. Congratulations....! 

The six finalists are:

1) Sasha   2) Neena   3) Rosin   4) Rahul   5) Sindhu   6) Thinkal
