“Will End Liquor Ban in Bihar In An Hour”, Promises Prashant Kishor

Patna: Political strategist-turned-political leader, Prashant Kishor has promised that his new political party would end ban the ban on liquor “within an hour” if elected to power in Bihar. His party, Jan Suraaj, will be officially launched on October 2.

Speaking to newsmen, he said, “The prohibition law is nothing but a dhakosla (sham) of Nitish Kumar.” He promised that his new party would “scrap the ban on liquor within an hour of forming its government”.

Kishore claimed that the current prohibition in Bihar is ineffective stating that it has led to illegal home deliveries of liquor for which the state is losing Rs 20,000 crore in potential excise revenue.

He alleged that politicians and bureaucrats are making money from the illegal liquor trade.

Kishor further added that he will not shy away from speaking against prohibition like other parties.

Kishor confirmed that his political party, Jan Suraaj, will contest all 243 seats in the Bihar Assembly polls due in 2025.
