Promote fruit-based wineries: Malik

Maharashtra Skill Development Minister Nawab Malik had said last Thursday that the state cabinet has decided to promote fruit-based wineries in the state. This will give additional income to the farmers. Defending the decision of the state government, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut had said that wine is not liquor. It is made from fruits and the purpose of this decision is to double the income of the farmers. Along with this, he accused the BJP of not doing anything for the farmers. On the other hand, Maharashtra BJP is also opposing the decision of the ruling Shiv Sena-led Maha Aghadi government in the state.

 

It is said that such decisions are made for the sake of revenue.

On the contrary, Hazare's statement, which came on Monday, said that it is the responsibility of the government to free people from the addiction to drugs, alcohol, but it is sad to see that such decisions are being taken only to increase the revenue income. are. Opposing the decision, Hazare said that the state government has recently decided to sell wine at supermarkets and grocery stores. This decision is very unfortunate for the people of Maharashtra.

 

The state government says that this decision has been taken in the interest of farmers. He also says that wine is not wine. The real question is, in which direction will such decisions take the state? Hazare also said that the public is opposing this decision, but those who are in the government are defending it. Unfortunately, the government is giving priority to the sale of liquor to generate revenue.

 

the target of selling one thousand crore liters of wine

Give fair price to the farmers for their produce. While discussing the interests of the farmers, Hazare said that the central and state governments should give a fair price to the farmers for their produce. But instead, the government is setting a target of selling one thousand crore liters of wine in a year. This means that if people become addicted to drugs, then the government will not make any difference.

 

Anna Hazare also said that in November last year, the Maharashtra government reduced the excise duty on imported Scotch whiskey by 50 percent. He said that the government plans to increase the revenue from the sale of liquor from Rs 100 crore to Rs 250 crore.
