The death of up to 65 people after drinking poisonous liquor in Kallakurichi has shocked Tamil Nadu. Following this, demands for complete prohibition of alcohol started sprouting throughout Tamil Nadu. However, Minister Muthuswamy said that there is no situation to bring alcohol exemption.
Also, Minister Duraimurugan has caused controversy when he said that there is no kick in the Tasmac product, it is like a soft drink, so they are resorting to counterfeiting. Similarly, the report issued by CAG regarding Tasmac has also created debates.
In this context, BJP state president Annamalai, who met the media in Coimbatore today, said, “Tasmac income and accounting cases are not transparent, CAG said. TASMAC’s annual report is difficult to find. From whom the liquor is procured is hidden.
What Minister Duraimurugan said is true
It is true that Minister Duraimurugan said that there is no kick in Tasmac cargo. They are trolling it on social media. Even as a joke, he himself, a senior minister, has admitted the truth in the Assembly. When I visited Kallakurichi many people commented that the quality of Tasmac wine was like water. No one tests the quality of Tasmac wine. They sell for charity.
Tasmac shops make people addicted to alcohol. Alcohol addicts turn to cannabis because they don’t get that kick. The Tamil Nadu government is responsible for this,” he said.
He continued, “They are asking the Assembly that the Coimbatore Isha center is located on the elephant trail. Isha says that they are not encroaching on any forest sector. So, the DMK government is trying to get Isha into some trouble,” he alleged.
He also alleged that policemen engaged in election work were not given travel passes, sanitation in Chennai was at abysmal level and there was no white paper regarding the Chief Minister’s foreign travel.
