Minister brings Liquor Bottles to Secretariat
By: Tupaki Desk | 25 Aug 2015 11:06 AM GMT
Telangana Excise Minister T Padma Rao has begun a new tradition. That's nothing but attending a press conference with liquor bottles in Secretariat. Of course, He does that to create awareness among people about the Government's introduction of cheap liquor in place of illicit-distilled liquor from October 1st, on the same day when the new excise policy will come into effect.
In an attempt to counter the allegations of Opposition Parties, T Padma Rao explained TRS Government's cheap liquor is solely meant to save the people falling prey to illicit liquor. He also informs Government will keep the prices as low as possible by exemption of taxes.
Opposition Parties question how can a Minister take liquor bottles into the Secretariat and how could he, being in a responsible position, provoke people to consume alcohol.
Inspite of criticism, Telangana Government is firm on going ahead with the sale of cheap liquor. TRS Government aims to generate good revenue apart from safeguarding the health of the weaker sections. Will the cheap liquor serve the purpose?
