Updated:2 years ago

New Delhi, June 23 (ANI): Lambasting INDIA bloc over hooch tragedy in Tamil Nadu’s Kallakurichi, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on June 23 targeted Congress and Rahul Gandhi’s silence. Speaking about the tragedy the Finance Minister of India said, “More than 200 people are still in hospital in a critical stage. 56 people have died and most of them are from the scheduled caste... I condemn the incident. I am shocked that the Congress has not uttered a word against this. In a state where licensed liquor is available from shops run by the government called ‘Tasmak’. Despite that, in the middle of the city of Kalakurchi chemical-based illicit liquor is served... Where is the Congress party, President Mallikarjun Kharge?.. Where is Rahul Gandhi? Does they don’t care about the people and schedule cast of Tamil Nadu?.. He contests elections just because he is assured that he will win... When Dalits are dying because of spurious liquor, not a statement comes from Rahul Gandhi... I demand this whole case be handed over to CBI...: The Congress party’s indifference towards the Tamil Nadu people has come out very clearly.
