Bihar's liquor ban may be lifted as NDA's stance changes. NCAER report highlights potential excise tax revenue.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar seems to be reconsidering its stance on the liquor ban. A recent report by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has sparked a political stir, suggesting that controlled sale of liquor could generate significant excise tax revenue for the state. This development has led to speculation about a possible U-turn on the liquor ban, which was implemented to curb alcohol consumption and related social issues.
