#TN CM does a drama act - Rejects prohibition in assembly, promises same during campaign. #ElectionStunt https://t.co/pUguJYOce0

Exposing the glaring political hypocrisy and opportunism of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin delivered a scathing critique of the AIADMK's sudden electoral conversion to alcohol prohibition. Addressing election rallies, Stalin reminded the public of the proceedings on the floor of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, where the Chief Minister and her excise ministers had repeatedly and vehemently rejected the DMK's persistent demands for implementing total prohibition, arguing that closure of TASMAC liquor outlets was fiscally impossible.

Stalin called out the utter deceit of the AIADMK leadership for now promising phased prohibition in election speeches simply to hoodwink women voters after five years of deliberately profiting from state-sponsored liquor addiction. He highlighted that while peaceful women and students protesting against TASMAC shops near residential areas and schools were brutally beaten by police, the ruling party turned a blind eye to alcohol-induced tragedies across thousands of families. Stalin affirmed that the DMK's commitment to implementing total, immediate prohibition was an irrevocable article of faith signed into its election manifesto. He urged the electorate to reject the AIADMK's insincere election stunts and vote for the DMK to protect future generations.
