More than half ministers, MLAs of Grand Alliance are boozers: Sushil Modi

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Kumar Modi on Tuesday alleged that “over half” of the “ministers and legislators” of the ruling Grand Alliance in Bihar are “habitual boozers”, his remarks coming in the wake of a Congress MLA caught on camera purportedly offering liquor to his guests.

The BJP leader also asked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to take stringent action against Narkatiaganj MLA Vinay Verma, who has been caught in the booze sting at a time when a total prohibition is in force in the state. “It is known to all that more than half of legislators and ministers in the ruling Grand Alliance are habitual boozers which puts a question mark on the government’s commitment to fully enforce prohibition in Bihar,” he said.
