MUMBAI: The BJP and the MVA partners continue to spar over the government decision to allow the sale of wine in supermarkets.
On Sunday, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya targeted Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and alleged that his family members had entered into a partnership with a company called Magpie DFS Pvt Ltd, which was involved in distribution of wine, a few months ago. “Raut’s two daughters are directors in the company. The main business of the company was also changed to trading of wine after Raut’s family members entered into a partnership with the company. With such deep financial interests in these businesses, no wonder the MVA partners see no wrong in the decision which aims to make Maharashtra into Madya Rashtra (liquor state),” said Somaiya.
Amruta, wife of former CM Devendra Fadnavis, also criticised the government decision in a tweet.
NCP leader Nawab Malik asked whether the BJP will shut distilleries and wineries owned by its members. “There are several leaders in the BJP who cannot sleep without drinking. People using words like drunkards, we all know where they sit in the night and what they have,” he said.
