No plan to boost government revenue through liquor sales, says Minister K. Vignesh
In Coimbatore, Minister K. Vignesh stated the government has no policy to raise revenue through liquor sales; TASMAC-related suggestions and employee demands are being considered.
Coimbatore: Minister K. Vignesh said in Coimbatore that the government does not have any plan to increase revenue specifically through liquor sales. He warned against misrepresenting ongoing discussions — such as proposals about TASMAC outlets or restobar-style models — as government policy promoting alcohol.
He added that while various options have been discussed, none have been adopted as government policy without full consideration. Officials also reviewed practices in neighbouring states and recent actions affecting TASMAC shops; demands from TASMAC employees, including pay-rise requests, are under consideration.
