Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has some enlightening views on how (not) to consume alcohol.
Giving advice to drinkers who have been left dejected by the prohibition of alcohol in the state, Kumar said:
And this wasn’t the only thing he had to say on Tuesday. He could not help but elaborate about the “happiness” he received after implementing the prohibition.
The government had enforced total Prohibition in the state in April this year.
Going by the look of it, people in Bihar might have to brace themselves for a stricter law.
On Wednesday, Bihar Governor Ram Nath signed the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Bill 2016, which authorizes the state police to take all members of a family into custody, if it finds a single bottle of liquor in their home.
As expected, Twitter erupted with jibes on Kumar’s statements.
