Royal Stag is passe, voters more demanding now Gone are the days when the liquor brands like Royal Stag were sufficient to woo voters. The scenario has changed, with voters demanding costlier liquor brands like Blenders Pride, Antiquity and Signature for their votes. The liquor brand is supplied by student organisations in colleges to groups, depending on the number of votes they have. Apart from movie shows and disco parties, student organisations have a great demand of liquor, but the taste of voters compared to the past few years have shifted to costlier brands. A party worker said outstation students residing in the city were being provided bottles of liquor as per their demands at their rooms and paying guest accommodation. A student leader at GGDSD College, Sector 32, said students were coming up with their choice of liquor brands and they had to fulfil their demands to woo them. Till the previous year, students were satisfied with Royal Stag, but now, they were demanding costlier liquor brands, which they could not deny to them as it was a matter of votes, he added. A member of one student organisation at DAV College said it all depended on student organisations. If one would start distributing a costlier brand, others had to distribute the same to compete in wooing voters. “Voters say bluntly that other parties are offering them costlier brands of liquor, following which we have to at least distribute what other parties are offering them,” the student leader said. According to student leaders, Blenders Pride was in high demand among students at most colleges. Groups of students with more votes were being offered different brands like Signature and Antiquity. “There are groups of students from the North-East who even demand non-vegetarian dishes along with liquor,” a student activist said. Sources said booze parties for voters would continue till Thursday evening to ensure that they did not shift preference to another organisation.
