The Hindu
While the DMK manifesto is silent on liquor prohibition, its ally, the Congress, has come out with detailed plans for total prohibition. In its Assembly election manifesto, released by Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S Alagiri on Tuesday, the party has even promised a separate ministry for prohibition.
The manifesto released pointed out that the Congress followed an uncompromising position on prohibition so long as it was power in Tamil Nadu (till 1967). “Prohibition was in force when the revenue of the state was less than ₹100 crore. Since the revenue has increased to ₹1.33 lakh crore now there is no hesitation to implement prohibition,” said the manifesto.More Related News
