TDP for white paper on liquor policy

Telugu Desam Party president, N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday charged the government with unabashedly opening the flood gates of liquor flow in the State through its skewed revenue-driven licensing policy, in total disregard to the health of the people especially the poor.

Addressing a press conference, Mr. Naidu said there could be no responsible government anywhere in the world that wants to earn revenue risking the lives of people and well-being of the society.

The Telugu Desam would soon launch a campaign against the liquor policy, he said.

He went on to demand a public debate and a white paper on the liquor policy and revenue and how it is being spent, to make the people aware.
