Opposition raised questions on liquor ban policy in Bihar

The opposition has raised questions on the liquor prohibition policy of the Bihar government. RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said that due to the ideological ambiguity and weak will of the Chief Minister, prohibition has become ineffective in Bihar today.

Deputy CM assured of strict action

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha said that the government has taken the matter seriously and the culprits will not be spared. He said, the government is investigating this matter and the people behind it will be exposed. People doing liquor business are associated with RJD. Prohibition has been implemented with everyone’s consent, and everyone should cooperate to make it successful.
