#Dedicated #app?
The Kerala Excise Minister's stance on Bevco's alcohol delivery app reflects a strange mix of hypocrisy and illogicality.
On the one hand, he claims that the "Kerala psyche" isn't mature enough for such a service, as if his government's elected members can't be trusted. . But at the same time, alcohol is already being sold online on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart without any moral warning.
If alcohol can reach homes through these channels, why does a dedicated Bevco app suddenly pose a threat to public maturity? This excuse sounds less like a legitimate concern than an attempt to cover up inefficiency or a lack of planning.
The funny thing is, Bevco could easily secure home delivery by adding age verification at the point of delivery. And who will verify the age, the delivery person? This is a poor idea, because checking identity before handing over the bottle seems stupid..
Instead of using technology wisely, the minister is content to make immature statements about the population's maturity. The whole affair only reveals the incompetence and double standards of Bevco and the Minister of Excise.
