Politics of Bihar: Many families have been ruined once again by drinking poisonous liquor. 31 people have died due to drinking spurious liquor in Gopalganj and Bettiah on the occasion of Diwali. While 20 people have died in Gopalganj, 11 people have died in Bettiah so far.
Many people have lost their eyesight due to drinking spurious liquor. Earlier last week in Muzaffarpur also 6 people lost their lives due to alcohol.
Leader of Opposition in Bihar Tejashwi Yadav has blamed the Nitish government for the deaths. Tejashwi tweeted and said, ‘On the day of Diwali in Bihar, the government killed more than 35 people due to spurious liquor.
I express my deepest condolences on this painful incident. May God give strength to the bereaved family members to bear the loss.
Bihar has to bear this pain along with migration.
The Chief Minister is busy in celebration, so he does not even have time to take cognizance of these incidents and express condolences. https://t.co/n4wX16AubH

Nitish Kumar’s absurd statement
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has given an absurd statement on the deaths due to poisonous liquor in Bihar. He has said, ‘If you drink the wrong thing, it will happen. How much do you drink even after refusing? From the year 2016, we have strictly implemented the prohibition of liquor. Most of the people are in favor of prohibition. Something must be wrong. Some people have a tendency to make mistakes.’
The Chief Minister further said, ‘Some people who mess up are punished. Even go to jail. Appealed people to stay away from it. Some people speak against me on prohibition but don’t worry.
“When you drink the wrong thing, you will go away” – Nitish ji
In the last 3 days, more than 50 deaths have taken place due to spurious liquor.
The Chief Minister himself, the administration, the mafia and the smugglers keep threatening to teach a hard lesson to the drinkers instead of taking action against the police. pic.twitter.com/56WTi9RCVR

Referring to Nitish Kumar’s above remarks, the RJD leader said, “When the Chief Minister is giving a scathing discourse at the mess, the BJP minister standing next to him, two trucks of liquor were recovered from inside his school. In the police FIR It is also mentioned. Bihar Police has not been able to arrest the minister’s nominated brother till date. This is the truth of his alleged liquor ban.’
Liquor ban was implemented in Bihar on 1st April 2016. In the year 2015, Nitish Kumar had talked about prohibition of liquor in Bihar. Prohibition of liquor encourages the illegal business of liquor. Second- Prohibition is beneficial for liquor smugglers and it also benefits the officials who allegedly take bribe from them.
