Patna: Bihar's Prohibition Minister Sunil Kumar on Monday said that deaths are taking place in the states not due to prohibition but due to spurious liquor. He said that the people of the state are poor and some of them are involved in this illegal trade to earn money. They choose the wrong way to make liquor and sell it in the market. The poor consumer buys such liquor because it is available at a lower price.

"Our CM Nitish Kumar has rightly said that if you drink the wrong things, you can lose your life. In Bihar, the Nitish Kumar government is facing criticism from its coalition partners as well as opposition leaders over its faulty implementation of the prohibition law.''

The critics say that due to prohibition, mafia gangs involved in the illegal trade are secretly making such liquor where purity is fully compromised. They make alcohol that becomes poisonous. Liquor was banned in Bihar in April 2016. After its implementation, there was a tragedy of hundreds of alcohol in Bihar and thousands of people died or their eyesight was permanently lost. On January 15 this year, there were three liquor accidents in which at least 37 persons lost their lives. Let us know that the opposition is constantly trying to corner the government over the prohibition law in Bihar and is demanding the government to withdraw it. But CM Nitish Kumar has made it clear that he will not take back this law.
