The current large haul of medicine at Visakhapatnam vindicated the TDP’s stand that the town has turn into a hub in the course of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) rule, he noticed, whereas demanding a radical probe into that drug smuggling racket which clearly has foreign links that wanted to be uncovered in public curiosity.

Addressing media individuals on the TDP workplace close to Mangalagiri on Monday, Mr. Pattabhi Ram stated the citing of a bus loaded with essential paperwork associated to Sandhya Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd. at Kotha Mulapeta village in Kakinada district and the handing over of the supplies present in it by the police to the corporate administration with out correct checking, as a substitute of giving their custody to the CBI, confirmed their callous perspective. He identified that there have been discrepancies within the certification of Sandhya Aqua’s dry yeast by the Agriculture Ministry of Brazil. 

Despite claims by Sandhya Aqua that the certification was obtained on January 17 in Germany, it was fairly puzzling as to how such certification might have been issued after the cargo had already left for Hamburg port on January 14.
