Party general secretary Vaiko told reporters at the sidelines of inauguration of the marathon that liquor was introduced in Tamil Nadu to increase the revenue of the Government, resulting in spoiling of future of youths and their families.
There was no no liquor during the rule of late Kamaraj and C N Annadurai in the state, but successive governments in order to fill their exchequer were depending on the increasing revenue from the sales of liquor, Vaiko alleged.
