While many countries including India are going through a lengthy lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19, few states in our nation relaxed the restriction on selling of liquor. As per guidelines of government of India, only 10 people can attend a funeral and 20 to a marriage, but govts allowed opening of wine shops which eventually led to people thronging in large numbers.
The governments are already inviting a lot criticism all over and freshly, Superstar Rajinikanth expressed his discontent on AIADMK govt in Tamil Nadu for allowing the sale of liquor in state. This came a day after Tamil Nadu regime sought the Supreme Court to issue a stay on Madras High Court’s order to shut down TASMAC stores and stop selling liquor.
“If AIADMK government reopens liquor stores at this time, they must forget the dream of coming to power again,” warned Rajini through a tweet and said that ‘state government should look for other sources of revenue but not by selling liquor during this crisis’.
With Rajini set to enter politics, this warning to state government has caught everyone’s attention. It is known that the Kabali star will take a plunge into politics in the coming elections. He declared that he won’t aim to become Chief Minister, but one of his party’s legislator will be the CM candidate.
