Quotes
A. Revanth Reddy
Telangana Chief Minister speaking at a Congress meeting in Goa.
“Goa has transformed into a hub of drugs. What is stopping Pramod Sawant from initiating action, when the entire state and Central agencies are at your disposal? Why haven't the Prime Minister and the Union home minister, who speak of a 'Nasha Mukt Bharat' failed to implement that vision here?”
