B.R. Patil, Aland MLA and advisor to Chief Minister, has pitched for a nationwide ban on alcohol, and asked the various state governments to exert pressure on Centre to impose a ban on liquor across the country.
He was addressing party workers at the grand felicitation ceremony organised to felicitate him on being appointed as advisor to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently.
Recalling his long battle against the sale of liquor, Mr. Patil said that he took several delegations and met the then Chief Minister and urged imposing prohibitions on liquor in the State. He said that imposing a ban on liquor across the nation was the permanent solution.
