On Friday, Shiv Sena’s leader Sanjay Raut said that the Maharashtra government’s decision to allow the sale of wine will help the farmers double their income.
He said, “Wine is not liquor. If wine sale increases, farmers will get benefit from it. We’ve done this to double farmers’ income. BJP only opposes but does nothing for farmers.”
On the other hand, the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) has welcomed this decision. Moreover, FRTWA President Viren Shah also said that it will help in increasing the business in supermarkets.
