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.

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.

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.
