Liquor in the state will become more expensive as the Beverage Corporation agreed to raise the rate by 10%. This will surely affect ordinary people who find pleasure in cheap liquors.
With the bad policy of the government, Kerala has become a country where ordinary working people spend their hard earned money on alcohol and lottery. But the liquor trade is a loss for Kerala as BEVCO recorded a loss of over Rs 1000 crore last year.
In this case, the government should stop the liquor business and turn it over to private companies with the necessary regulations so that the government can make a huge profit from the liquor business.
Staff currently working at BEVCO can be advantageously assigned to other departments where employees are needed.
