Bhupesh Baghel, the chief minister of Chhattisgarh, stated on Thursday that he lacked the guts to ban liquor in the state. The chief minister spoke at a conference in Durg at the time of the statement. The Raman Singh-implemented systems, according to Baghel, are still in use in the state.
When asked about the prohibition of liquor before the Covid-19 outbreak, Baghel recalled the times of lockdown. ‘I wanted to ban alcohol, but then the Covid-19 pandemic happened. During the lockdown, people started consuming fake and poisonous alcohol, even resorting to drinking sanitisers and losing their lives,’ the chief minister said.
‘Therefore, I lack the courage to ban alcohol and have people start dying from consuming fake and poisonous alcohol,’ he added.
