Tamil Nadu Hooch Tragedy: Nirmala Sitharaman Slams Congress For Keeping Mum Over The Incident
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman condemned the Hooch tragedy in Tamil Nadu, highlighting that over 200 people are hospitalised and 56 have died, mainly from the scheduled caste. She criticised the Congress party, particularly President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, for their silence on the issue. Sitharaman expressed shock that illicit liquor was being sold in Kalakurchi despite the availability of licensed liquor from government-run TASMAC shops. She called for a CBI investigation into the matter. #TamilNaduTragedy #HoochDeaths #NirmalaSitharaman #CongressSilence #RahulGandhi #MallikarjunKharge #IllicitLiquor #TASMAC #DalitDeaths #CBIInvestigation #PoliticalCriticism #TamilNaduHooch #SpuriousLiquor #PublicOutrage #GovernmentAccountability ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.101~GR.121~
