Nara Lokesh, who is touring the Chittoor district, said that there is no safety for the people as the government has failed on the law and order front. Addressing party cadre at V Kota in the district, he said, belt shops (country liquor outlets) are aplenty in the district, and that the cheap liquor is affecting the health of people.
He criticized the state government for imposing heavy power cuts and increasing the power tariff heavily. Once, the state was the chosen destination for industrialists, and now industrialists are running away from the state, he said. (INN)
