Hyderabad: “Konathala Ramakrishna is still our party leader,” said YSRCP Official Spokesperson Vasireddy Padma.

Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad on Tuesday, she said that she could not believe the news reports in a section of the media that he might leave the party.

However, she said that she has no complete information on the same. She made these comments while replying to the questions posed by the reporters on the leader.

Commenting on the liquor policy of Andhra Pradesh, she advised the state government to withdraw its plan of allowing more liquor shops in the state. She said that YSRCP would seriously oppose the move of the government.

“If more liquor shops are started in the state, the lives of middle class and lower class people will be shattered. Chandrababu could not keep up his election promise of closing belt shops in the state,” said Padma.
