Congress leader Revanth Reddy alleged that the Goa administration is facilitating the drug trade, describing the state as an emerging drug hub.
Congress MP Revanth Reddy publicly accused the Goa state government of creating an environment that encourages drug trafficking. In his statement, he said the administration's policies and lax enforcement are turning Goa into a hub for narcotics, benefiting a few financially while endangering public health.
Reddy, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, urged the central government to intervene and called for a thorough investigation into the alleged facilitation of drug networks. He warned that unchecked drug flow could tarnish Goa's reputation as a tourist destination and pose a serious security threat.
The accusation comes amid growing concerns across several Indian states about rising drug consumption and smuggling. Goa's chief minister has not responded to the remarks yet, but officials have previously emphasized ongoing anti‑narcotics operations in the region.
Political analysts note that such statements often reflect broader inter‑party tensions, especially ahead of upcoming elections, and may prompt a review of law‑enforcement strategies in the coastal state.
