"The Youth Congress and other youth activists have started a campaign, 'Say NO to Drugs'. The government should be the custodian to protect the youth and their health and promote their education but unfortunately, the Telangana government is indulging in the shameful act of promoting drugs," the Congress leader said.

"You may have parties but don't do drugs. This government is shameful, inhuman and promoting drugs and making youth addicted to drugs. We strongly condemn the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party government of inaction against the drugs case," he alleged.

The Youth Congress president of Greater Hyderabad, Motta Rohit said, "As you all know, tomorrow there are going to be celebrations in the city on the eve of New Year, we have been witnessing that Hyderabad which is known in the world as IT-hub has slowly come into recognition as the drug capital of India."
