Jaya Promises Prohibition In Tamil Nadu If Re-Elected
NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa today promised phased prohibition in the state if she is elected back to power. Tamil Nadu votes on May 16 to elect a new government.
Ms Jayalalithaa said, “Karunanidhi’s demand for prohibition is like devil quoting scriptures.” She said it was the DMK chief who introduced liquor in Tamil Nadu, while she stopped the sale of cheap liquor.
Earlier this month, the Bihar government also introduced total prohibition in the state, speeding up its plans for a phased approach.
Defending her government on the Chennai floods, the Chief Minister said the city saw “unprecedented rains in 100 years.” That no disease spread after the floods was a major achievement, she said seeking a second consecutive term.
