‘We have forgiven Rajiv case convicts’
While the DMK manifesto is silent on prohibition, its ally, Congress, has come out with detailed plans for total prohibition. In its Assembly election manifesto released on Tuesday by Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri, the party has even promised a Ministry for prohibition.
The manifesto pointed out that the Congress had adopted an uncompromising position on prohibition as long as it was power in Tamil Nadu (until 1967). “Prohibition was in force when the State’s revenue was less than ₹100 crore. Since the revenue has increased to ₹1.33 lakh crore now, there should be no hesitation about implementation of prohibition,” it said.

BHOPAL: Even as Congress and the ruling BJP have crossed swords over liquor policy in Madhya Pradesh, former chief minister Uma Bharti has vehemently opposed the opening of new liquor shops in the state. The BJP leader appealed to national president JP Nadda to prepare for a total prohibition on liquor sale in all BJP ruled states. Bharti said the life of people is more precious than generating revenue. I want to publicly appeal to BJP president JP Nadda through this tweet to prepare for total prohibition in all BJP ruled states. Political parties are under pressure to win elections but, BJP s victory in Bihar has proved it was due to prohibition that women voted one-sided for Nitish Kumar, said Bharti.
