Chhattisgarh News: Prohibition has been one of the major issues in the 2018 assembly elections in Chhattisgarh. Now as soon as the 2023 assembly elections (Election 2023) come closer, the discussion on prohibition has started again. The BJP is busy besieging the Congress government on the issue of prohibition. She is accusing the government of going against the promise. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel (CM Bhupesh Baghel) has given a big statement on prohibition. He has said that there should be drug ban, not liquor ban. Along with this, all things like Gudakhu, Gutka, Ganja should be stopped.
CM Bhupesh Baghel’s big statement on prohibition
In fact, in a conversation with the media in Raipur on Wednesday, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has put a concrete stand on liquor ban. CM Bhupesh Baghel (CM Bhupesh Baghel) said that I will not do any such work, due to which people will lose their lives. I want that there should be drug ban, not liquor ban. All things like Gudakhu, Gutka Ganja should be stopped and environment should be created for it. When this kind of environment is created in the society, then definitely there will be drug ban.
What will be the effect of liquor ban on the society, it will also have to be considered.
Next to this, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the states in which liquor was banned. Giving the example of the situation there, he said that people died after drinking spurious liquor in Gujarat and Bihar. People died after drinking sanitizer in Raipur during the lockdown. A similar incident happened in Bilaspur. It is not that we have said, so he has to pay. It is a matter of 1 day that it takes no time to say that the liquor shop is closed today. But what will be its impact on the society, it will also have to be thought about. Because it will not be possible until the society comes in front of the social evil and takes it in hand and it is difficult to tell the time limit. But I personally want that there should be prohibition.
BJP’s taunt on Chief Minister Bhupesh’s statement
With this statement of the Chief Minister, now the government’s decision on prohibition is almost clearly visible. The Congress government is not going to ban liquor in Chhattisgarh yet. Now a statement has come out from the BJP on this. Former BJP minister Ajay Chandrakar has taunted the Chief Minister on Twitter. He has written that O Mahaprabhu! (Hon. Chief Minister Chhattisgarh Congress exploited) Show the people of Chhattisgarh darshan from which great soul you got the divine knowledge about liquor ban… Citizens will get them felicitated on behalf of all liquor coaches, brokers and jailed mafias.
Liquor ban is not easy in Chhattisgarh!
Significantly, before the 2018 assembly elections, the Congress had promised to ban alcohol to half the population and had also included this issue in its manifesto. But liquor ban has not happened even after 4 and a half years of formation of the government. However, the Congress government has formed a committee which has been continuously monitoring the states where prohibition has taken place. Going there and understanding their policy. But now it is believed that now the big decision of liquor ban is not easy. It is also likely to have an impact in the elections.
