Stop illicit liquor business: Congress to Bihar government
Description
PATNA: Congress state incharge Bhakta Charan Das lashed out at the state government on Saturday over illegal liquor trade in Bihar and lawlessness. He said the government should take the responsibility and implement prohibition properly. Das was interacting with reporters on the last day of his second phase of ‘Kisan Andolan Yatra’ at Sadaquat Ashram here. Citing the example of murder of a police officer by liquor smuggler, Das said, “In initial phase, prohibition seemed to be beneficial and womenfolk also appreciated it. However, there is anarchy now. If the government has made a law, it should implement it,” he said. Das alleged law and order was also deteriorating in the state. “Living in Bihar has become difficult, but the JD(U) and BJP are busy only in saving the government,” he said. Das, who has so far covered 29 districts as part of his yatra, said the farmers and common people in Bihar have understood the negative aspects of the three farm laws enacted by the Centre recently.
