Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar now has called those who oppose Mahatma Gandhi’s principles against liquor consumption as “not Indians, ‘mahapaapi’ (biggest sinners) and ‘maha ayogya’ (most ineligible)”.
He also ruled out providing any relief to those who die in hooch tragedies in dry Bihar.
Of late, Mr. Kumar has been attacked by Opposition parties for bad implementation of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016. Over 200 people in the State have died in the last one year in different hooch incidents.
