AIFB MLA demands ban on liquor in West Bengal
"I believe that our Chief Minister does not drink alcohol. So what's there problem to ban liquor in Bengal? If Bihar government can do this then why can't we?" Ali said.
Other Left parties, including CPI-M, and Congress supported young MLA's proposal.
After coming to power, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar imposed a ban on alcohol in his state. Bihar government has claimed that the decision of liquor-ban reduced crime in the state by 53%.
