After announcing a strict liquor policy that suggested the government was mulling prohibition in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday ruled out such a possibility at the moment but left it to people to make it a reality.
In his Republic Day speech, Chouhan said enforcing prohibition will not work in Madhya Pradesh. “We will free the state of liquor not by imposing prohibition but through the commitment of people,” he said.
