Speaking at Telangana Bhavan on Monday, Srinivas Goud accused the Congress government of conspiring to shut down toddy shops, in contrast to the previous BRS government's decision to reopen them under former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. He also criticized the government for failing to honor promises, including increasing reservations for the Goud community in liquor shop allocations and erecting a statue of Sardar Sarvai Papanna on Tank Bund.
