Liquor prohibition law is in force in Bihar since 2016. Almost 10 years have passed and in the meanwhile, controversy has started once again regarding the review of this law. On Tuesday (February 17, 2026), MLA Madhav Anand of NDA’s ally Rashtriya Lok Morcha in the House raised the demand that the prohibition law should be reviewed. After this demand of Madhan Anand, politics has started in the state. However, JDU has made its stand clear.
JDU spokesperson Abhishek Jha did not take the name of his alliance partner MLA but took full aim at him. Abhishek Jha said that any law made by the government is being reviewed from time to time. Prohibition of alcohol has also been under review. An MLA has given a statement in the House that there should be a review. Now only they can tell what the meaning of the review is according to them.
‘Those who are giving statements…’
Abhishek Jha said that under the guise of review, if someone wants to delay it or wants to end it, then this cannot happen. Nitish Kumar has strictly enforced the liquor ban law in Bihar for so many years and will continue to do so in future also. The people who are giving statements keep traveling to Delhi. We feel that there is prohibition in Bihar but there is no prohibition in other states.
Prohibition law completely failed: AIMIM
AIMIM MLA Akhtarul Iman described the liquor ban law as a complete failure. Akhtarul Iman says that home delivery of liquor is being done in Bihar. The liquor mafia enjoys the protection of the government and the police. Due to prohibition, the new generation has fallen prey to dry addiction.
On one hand, Akhtarul Iman claimed that there were ‘holes’ in the liquor prohibition law, while on the other hand, senior minister of Bihar government, Vijay Chaudhary said that the liquor prohibition law in Bihar was implemented with the consent of all the parties in the House. The liquor ban law was in force in Bihar, is in force and will remain in force.
RJD sought answers from the Chief Minister
On this entire controversy, RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari said that only the MLAs of the ruling party are exposing the liquor ban in the House. MLAs are saying that liquor ban should be reviewed, then liquor ban is the silver of liquor mafia. People are dying due to poisonous liquor. The Chief Minister should answer. Now the leaders of his own constituent party are exposing the liquor ban.
