A report recommends ending Bihar’s liquor ban. Why BJP will find it hard
A report from the National Council of Applied Economic Research recommended revoking Bihar's decade-long liquor ban, citing significant revenue losses and ineffectiveness in reducing crimes against women. Despite recognizing the potential revenue boost, the ruling BJP is hesitant to alter the policy due to possible backlash from former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The party plans to deliberate further before making any changes.
