While speaking to media in Udaipur on October 06, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot raised questions on liquor ban in Gujarat and said the state has the maximum consumption of liquor among all states. He said, “Personally I support liquor ban, it was banned once but it failed and ban was removed. Liquor has been banned in Gujarat since independence but it's Gujarat where consumption of liquor is the highest.”
“This is the condition of Gandhi’s Gujarat. There is no point of a ban until some stringent arrangements are put in place,” Rajasthan CM added.
The state government had on October 2 this year, imposed a ban on certain categories of tobacco.
