Lift liquor ban in Bihar to attract foreign tourists: Jitan Ram Manjhi

Former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi demanded lifting of liquor ban in the state as it is “impacting” foreign tourists’ arrival and foreign exchange earnings. “Despite it being an international tourist place, foreigners do not spend more than 2-3 hours in Bodh Gaya. They come to Bodh Gaya and Gaya, visit important places and return to Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh or Hazaribagh in Jharkhand. I request Tejashwi to talk to the chief minister and restart the liquor operation in the state,” Manjhi said.
