Patna: The number of people who died after drinking spurious liquor in Bihar has touched the figure of 70. Meanwhile, the rhetoric of the leaders is also continuing. After Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, now JDU Parliamentary Board President Upendra Kushwaha has also given a statement on the liquor scandal. On the demand of compensation, he compared those who died after consuming spurious liquor to those who made bombs and asked that if someone dies while making a bomb, does the government give compensation? 

Earlier, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had also said on those who died of spurious liquor that 'the one who drinks spurious liquor will surely die, people, themselves have to be careful'. Nitish had said that what can be done with some people. Some people do make mistakes. The one who drinks alcohol will definitely die. Further, Nitish Kumar said that even when there was no liquor ban in Bihar, people used to die after drinking spurious liquor. Even in other states, such incidents happen. People should be alert. Since there is a prohibition in Bihar, some or the other fake will be sold. People died after drinking it. Nitish Kumar had said that alcohol is a bad habit. It should not be drunk.

Nitish Kumar had said, 'I have told the officers not to arrest the poor, arrest those who are doing this business. Many people have benefited from the liquor ban law, and many people have given up alcohol. Nitish appealed that no one should do business related to liquor, and do some business if needed, the government is ready to give up to Rs 1 lakh for another business. Nitish Kumar said that when last time people died due to drinking spurious liquor, then someone said that the government should give compensation to these people. But if anyone drinks the wine, he will die. An example of this is in front of us. This can be mourned. The places where these incidents happen should be visited and people should be made to understand.
