Finding lacunae in opening of liquor shops in every lane and bylane, former chief minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot today demanded that the new Excise policy framed by the Vasundhara Raje government needed to be reviewed to contain misuse of liquor.
"Raje government's new Excise policy would facilitate opening of liquor shops in every bylane and it should be reviewed before it gets implemented," Gehlot said after an obituary reference at PCC office.
In the name of restaurants, the liquor shops were being opened in the streets, he alleged.
Gehlot said he would welcome if any investment arrived in Rajasthan with the efforts of BJP government in near future. BJP government's move to hold investors' meet this year here will be hailed by everyone, he added.
