If Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is still in power, one of the main reasons is the prohibition law implemented in Bihar. The women of the state are happy with this decision and this is the reason why a special vote also goes to Nitish Kumar. Meanwhile, there has been a demand for review of the prohibition law in Bihar. Now a big statement has come from BJP. This statement may increase the tension of Nitish Kumar.
Bihar BJP MLA Vinay Bihari has given his reaction on this. He believes that this ban has no meaning in Bihar. This is not implemented correctly. He said in Bhojpuri, “Milta tabe nu aadmi hilta, na milita ta na hilit…”
Bandi should mean captive: Vinay Bihari
BJP MLA was talking to the media in Bettiah. During this time he gave his reaction on the question related to prohibition. He said, “I speak for myself… When I go to any wedding procession, I see more than half of the people drinking… I see them drunk… then I feel that either it should be stopped properly or it should be done as it was before. A ban should mean a ban… It should not be that the ban has no effect… What is the effect…?”

Demand raised from Kushwaha’s party increased politics
Recently, an MLA from Upendra Kushwaha’s party (Rashtriya Lok Morcha) had said in the House that the prohibition law should be reviewed again. After this, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi also supported it. He said that small and poor people are captured, big people or smugglers are released. In this way, politics is going on in Bihar regarding the prohibition law. On the other hand, JDU has made it clear that whatever relaxation they want in the prohibition law, nothing like this can happen.
Now it has to be seen what JDU and other leaders of the ruling party say on this after Vinay Bihari’s statement. The opposition has already been saying that the prohibition law has no effect in Bihar. A Congress MLA has even said that liquor will be delivered to the Assembly. Door-to-door delivery is being done.
