Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Bats for Nation-Wide Liquor Ban

Speaking at a convention on ‘Liquor-Free India’, Bihar Chief Minister NItish Kumar on Monday, 17 February, proposed a nation-wide ban on alcohol, saying it was Mahatma Gandhi’s wish.

“The liquor ban should not just be carried out in nearby states but all across the country,” Kumar said.

He added that the alcohol-ban had earlier been imposed in Bihar by then Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur, but it could not be implemented completely.
