Speaking in the House on Tuesday, Shet had said, "For 'Viksit Bharat' and 'Viksit Goa', the consumption of alcohol should be banned in Goa.
Goa BJP MLA Premendra Shet's demand to ban alcohol consumption in the coastal state has found no takers among his colleagues in the legislative assembly.
Speaking in the House on Tuesday, Shet had said, "For 'Viksit Bharat' and 'Viksit Goa', the consumption of alcohol should be banned in Goa. We can produce alcohol in the state and export it to other states, but its consumption in Goa should be banned." To buttress his point, the first-time BJP lawmaker, representing the Mayem assembly constituency in North Goa, said people die in accidents on roads and also in industrial units mainly due to increasing alcohol consumption in the state.
However, his House colleagues didn't seem convinced with his demand.
