Prashant Kishor Vows Immediate Scrapping Of Bihar’s Liquor Ban If Elected

In a big announcement ahead of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on 2 October, poll strategist turned politician Prashant Kishor has promised to lift Bihar's liquor immediately if elected to power.

Kishor's 'Jan Suraj' party is set to contest in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

"There is no need for any special preparation for the 2nd. We have been preparing for the last two years... If the Jan Suraj government is formed, we will end the liquor ban within one hour," Kishor was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Asked about RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s public tour in Bihar, Kishor said, "My best wishes to him. At least he has come out of the house and is going among the public."

On the ongoing war of words between the RJD and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, following Tejashwi Yadav's claim that Nitish Kumar had apologised with folded hands for joining the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Kishor said that both leaders have harmed Bihar.

"This issue is between Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, and it doesn't matter who apologised with folded hands to whom; both have caused damage to Bihar. The people of Bihar have witnessed both of them for 30 years. We are urging them both to leave Bihar," said Kishor.
