1. A video is going viral on social media about Kawasi Lakhma’s statement. In this, he is seen saying that, ‘If I don’t drink alcohol, I won’t work either’.
2. Kawasi Lakhma further said that the workers in NMDC’s mines and factories, as well as the municipality, need alcohol. You forget the pain when you drink alcohol. Former Chief Minister of the State Dr Raman Singh and Brijmohan Aggarwal will not know this because they have never lifted a gunny bag or done any heavy work in their entire life. 100% of people abroad, while 90% of people in Bastar consume alcohol. A liquor ban will never happen in Bastar. Because alcohol is also consumed at cultural events here and this tradition has been there since ancient times.

Will there be ever a ban on alcohol or an effort to eliminate people’s addiction to alcohol when such Minister is in power ? |
