The tragic hooch deaths in Pune have sparked a political storm, with Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Rohit Pawar launching a scathing attack on the Maha Yuti government. In a dramatic turn, NCP(SP) workers ransacked a liquor shop allegedly involved in selling illicit liquor, leading to the deaths of several people.
Rohit Pawar's Strong Reaction
Rohit Pawar, a prominent NCP(SP) leader, expressed deep anguish over the incident and held the state government responsible for the tragedy. He demanded strict action against those responsible and accused the administration of negligence. "The Maha Yuti government has failed to prevent such incidents. This is a result of their inefficiency and corruption," Pawar said while addressing the media.
Workers Vandalize Liquor Shop
Following the allegations, NCP(SP) workers took matters into their own hands and vandalized a shop in Pune where illicit liquor was allegedly being sold. The incident was captured on camera and widely shared on social media. The workers claimed that the shop was a hub for illegal liquor trade and demanded immediate closure of all such establishments.
Sanjay Raut's Strong Statement
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also condemned the incident, calling it "culpable homicide." He said that the deaths were not accidental but a result of criminal negligence by the authorities. "The government must treat this as a serious crime and ensure that the guilty are punished," Raut stated.
Political Fallout
The hooch tragedy has become a major political issue in Maharashtra, with opposition parties targeting the ruling Maha Yuti alliance. The incident has also raised questions about the enforcement of liquor laws in the state. Meanwhile, the police have registered a case and are investigating the matter.
The incident has once again highlighted the menace of illicit liquor in rural areas, where cheap and dangerous alcohol continues to claim lives. Activists have called for stricter regulations and awareness campaigns to prevent such tragedies in the future.
