Taking a dig at the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, BJP leader Giriraj Singh on Sunday reiterated RJD MLC Rambali Singh Chandrabanshi’s stand on liquor consumption in the parched state. Singh said that consumption of liquor in Bihar is like God, who is not visible but is omnipresent. RJD leader and MLC Chandravanshi had quipped that liquor in Bihar is like God.
“Liquor is like God in Bihar. Just as God is not visible but is omnipresent, liquor may not be visible in the state but many people are dying due to consumption of spurious liquor.” Giriraj Singh said on Sunday.
Earlier today, RJD MLC Chandravanshi also gave the same analogy when he said, ‘Liquor in Bihar is like God, which is not visible anywhere, but is found everywhere.’ He was commenting on getting an empty bottle of liquor at Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s rally.

“Nitish Kumar should introspect and analyze why his own people are losing faith in him. They should reconsider the liquor policies in Bihar, because there is no day or month when people are not dying due to consumption of spurious liquor in Bihar.
At least three people died in Bihar’s Vaishali district on Saturday allegedly after consuming liquor, which has been banned in the state since 2016. India said in today’s report.
Earlier on Thursday, five prisoners and two police officers who were caught having a liquor party inside an excise station in Paliganj were arrested.
RJD MLC Chandravanshi, however, said that prohibition cannot be raised as an issue as people die due to other reasons as well. He said on Sunday, ‘People dying or living is not a big issue.’
