Sudden decision on liquor ban is impossible: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, Jan 30: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that it was not possible to take a sudden decision on banning liquor in the state.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Wednesday, the CM said that when he was the chief minister, he had banned liquor.
But now, the pros and cons of banning liquor should be discussed and take a decision. The state exchequer was getting highest revenue from liquor sales. So, it was not possible to ban it suddenly. He would take a decision only after discussing it in the Cabinet, the CM said.
