‘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.

The DMK on Saturday found itself receiving bouquets and brickbats for its “pro-Hindu” announcements in its manifesto for the Assembly election.
Seeking to counter the charge of being “anti-Hindu”, the party came out with a series of promises, including restoration and consecration of temples at a cost of ₹1,000 crore. “There are temples where ‘kumbhabhishekham’ has not been performed for years. The DMK government will allot ₹1,000 crore for the purpose,” the manifesto said.
