Pune: Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on Saturday highlighted the difference between wine and liquor to counter state BJP’s campaign against the Maharashtra cabinet’s decision of allowing walk-in stores and supermarkets of over 100sqm to sell wine stored on their shelves.“There is a marked difference between wine and liquor. This should be categorically impressed upon the public,” the deputy chief minister said. “The government is concerned about the welfare of people in the state and no harmful decision will be taken by it,” he said, while urging party workers and allies to not get drawn by the Opposition’s criticism. The deputy CM said even Madhya Pradesh, a BJP-ruled state, has decided to allow liquor sale in supermarkets. “But, it is a decision taken by the Madhya Pradesh CM and his cabinet, who are elected by the people. We can also counter BJP by quoting this example, but we don’t want to get into it,” Pawar said. He said there was no question of turning the state into a liquor destination as alleged by the Opposition.
