MP Gurjit Aujla has held Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's government responsible for the death of 27 people due to consuming poisonous liquor in Majitha constituency of Amritsar in Punjab. Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh, he also demanded Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to make liquor cheaper in villages.
He said that the trade of spurious liquor can be stopped only when the government makes cheap liquor available at the shops. The Congress MP said that the Punjab government has estimated to collect 11 thousand crores in revenue from liquor but this target will not be possible to meet without tightening the noose on the trade of spurious liquor.
