After AINRC, Cong too rules out prohibition in Puducherry

A day after AINRC leader and Chief Minister N Rangasamy said there was no scope for total prohibition in the Union Territory as a major chunk of revenue was from liquor sales, Congress also ruled out a ban on the sale of alcohol, saying it was not "feasible".

Speaking to reporters here, Congress leader and former Union Minister V Narayanasamy on Friday said, "There is absolutely no scope for introduction of total prohibition in Puducherry in view of its unique culture". "Prohibition is absolutely not feasible in Puducherry," he said after PCC leader A Namassivayam released the Congress manifesto.
