Real ‘Vikas Parv’ only by ordering liquor ban, says Nitish

“Nowdays BJP-led NDA government is celebrating ‘nakli’ (fake) ‘Vikash Parv’ across the country. I request the Prime Minister that true celebration of ‘Parv’ would be only if he gets prohibition imposed at least in BJP-ruled states,” Kumar said addressing a function on prohibition here.

"While BJP leaders are falsely drum beating in the name of 'Vikash Parv', in Bihar every household is in festive mood after total prohibition," he said addressing members of women self help groups of Patna division.

Kumar said as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked as the Chief Minister of Gujarat where liquor is banned for a long time it shows he is in favour of it. "I request him to get the liquor ban implemented in at least the BJP-ruled states." 

He visited different divisional headquarters to get feed back on the announcement of complete ban on sale and consumption of alcohol in Bihar since April 5 this year and today's function here was the end of that exercise.
