Kumar said, “Just for the sake of a peg or a two, why are you spoiling everything? Please do not do this, drink juice. Switch off the light and drink juice, you will feel as if you are drinking alcohol,” Mr Kumar said.
“The happiness and satisfaction that I got from banning alcohol was something I never achieved before,” he added.He further said that drinking or not drinking alcohol is solely the decision of the individual.Earlier during the year, Nitish Kumar’s government enforced a total ban in the state from April 1.
