Attacks on people protesting against lifting of Prohibition
He said if our government comes, we will lift prohibition immediately. Prashant Kishore took a dig at those who are opposing the lifting of the liquor ban, saying those who are opposing the lifting of the liquor ban are those who are making money through illegal liquor business. Every official associated with Nitish Kumar has a connection with the liquor industry. There are people involved with alcohol in all three parties. In fact, these people are doing injustice to the people of Bihar.
Replying to a question, Prashant Kishore said, “Prohibition on liquor is not enforced anywhere in Bihar. Only liquor shops are locked in the state and door-to-door deliveries are being made everywhere.”
Prohibition caused loss of Rs 20,000
He said the people of Bihar were facing a loss of Rs 20,000 every year due to the so-called ban. Money from the country’s poor was plundered in the name of prohibition, and the money went to officials and liquor mafia, while liquor was sold in every village.
He questioned why people would die from drinking poisoned liquor if prohibition was imposed in Bihar. He traveled to various districts of Bihar. During that time, people told how people in their area died from drinking poisoned wine. People will not even report deaths due to poisoned alcohol to the police because they fear they will be punished. Liquor prohibition is not enforced anywhere in Bihar. There are wine sellers everywhere here.
