Vizianagaram: BJP senior leader and MLC Somu Veerraju sought to advise the state government to not to consider the liquor as major income source.
Interacting with media persons here on Thursday, he charged the state government with violating norms and opening doors for liquor trade. “The new policy is working on behalf of traders. The liquor shop licensees are discarding the norms framed by the government and simply concentrating on their profits.
Some illegal outlets in East Godavari are even supplying biriyani along with liquor bottle at door-steps. Where the society leading to,” he questioned.
Slamming excise minister K S Jawahar, who branded beer as a health drink, the MLC said that the minister should not have made that remark. “Howe can beer be a health drink? The government should understand the emotions of women.
Their voice against liquor shops should be recognised and should search alternative ways to improve the income rather than liquor,” he opined and suggested the government can earn more through mining activity.Party district president Peddinti Jaganmohana Rao and other leaders were also present.
