Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) (JVM) today called for a ban on liquor in state on the lines of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
"Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has taken a historic step by declaring the state "liquor free", which is being appreciated by people across the country, said the Secretary of JVM central Committee, Abhay Singh, here today.
JVM under the leadership of its Supremo Babulal Marandi, a former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, will also strive to mount pressure on the state government to impose ban on sale of liquor in Jharkhand, he said on the eve of a Party's convention to be held in Ranchi May 23.
