In a sensational twist to the ongoing fake liquor case in Andhra Pradesh, photos of former YSRCP minister Jogi Ramesh seated closely with Janardhan Rao, the prime accused in the spurious liquor case, and his brother Jagan Mohan Rao have now surfaced and are going viral on social media. These pictures are reportedly taken at a private celebration and have triggered a political storm, especially after Jogi Ramesh’s recent denial of any association with Janardhan Rao.
Just days ago, during a press meet, Jogi Ramesh firmly stated that he had no idea who Janardhan Rao was. He even went on record saying he was ready to face any punishment if anyone could prove a connection between them. He added that he was willing to undergo a lie detector test to clear his name. However, the emergence of these new images has put the former minister in a tough spot.

The fake liquor case, which originated in Mulakalacheruvu of Annamayya district, has been unfolding rapidly with new developments each day. From Janardhan Rao’s shocking testimony to WhatsApp chats allegedly linked to the case, the investigation has taken dramatic turns. Now, the leaked photos showing Jogi Ramesh in close proximity to the accused have added fuel to the already growing controversy.

Adding to the drama, a video released by Janardhan Rao recently made headlines across the state. In the video, he claimed that the production of fake liquor in Tamballapalle was initiated under the directions of Jogi Ramesh. He further alleged that the operation was aimed at discrediting the ruling alliance. Jogi Ramesh, however, has strongly refuted these allegations, calling the video baseless and forced. He maintained that he never met Janardhan Rao and that there was a deliberate attempt to frame him.

In yet another unexpected turn, a screenshot showing an alleged chat between Jogi Ramesh and Janardhan Rao also went viral online. Reacting swiftly, Jogi Ramesh lodged a police complaint, stating that a targeted misinformation campaign was being run against him.

Now, with the latest viral photos linking him visually to the accused, public discourse around his role in the fake liquor case has intensified. One thing is certain,the fake liquor case is far from over, and Jogi Ramesh is finding it increasingly difficult to stay out of the spotlight.
