MUMBAI: The BJP and the MVA partners continue to spar over the government decision to allow the sale of wine in supermarkets.
On Sunday, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya targeted Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and alleged that his family members had entered into a partnership with a company called Magpie DFS Pvt Ltd, which was involved in distribution of wine, a few months ago. “Raut’s two daughters are directors in the company. The main business of the company was also changed to trading of wine after Raut’s family members entered into a partnership with the company. With such deep financial interests in these businesses, no wonder the MVA partners see no wrong in the decision which aims to make Maharashtra into Madya Rashtra (liquor state),” said Somaiya.
