Transport Minister R.S. Raja Kannappan on Tuesday said that men might use the cash, if given as part of Pongal gift hamper, to buy liquor and could not have helped the women to celebrate the Pongal festival.
Joining issue with AIADMK leaders who have criticised the State government for not giving cash as done earlier by the previous government, he said that the men might spend the cash at liquor shops.
“It would not have helped the women in making Pongal. Distribution of grocery items and condiments will be of great use to women in making Pongal,” he said.
