Uma Bharti said that the government should not take advantage of people's addiction to alcohol.

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Uma Bharti tied cows in front of a liquor shop in Madhya Pradesh's Orchha town on Thursday and fed them grass and urged people to shun alcohol and drink cow's milk.

Former Chief Minister Uma Bharti, who is leading the campaign against alcohol consumption in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, said that the government should not take advantage of people's addiction to alcohol, it is not the religion of the government.

After tying cows in front of a liquor shop in Orchha of Niwari district, Uma Bharti told the people present there that they should drink milk instead of liquor.

He took photographs while feeding fodder to the cow there. 

Describing Shivraj Singh Chouhan as a brave leader, Uma Bharti told the people present there that Chouhan had accepted that there were some flaws in the current liquor policy, but he would make the next liquor policy together with Baba Ramdev.

The BJP leader had thrown cow dung at this liquor shop in June last year.

In March 2022, he threw a stone at a liquor shop in Bhopal.

Fearing a repetition of the 2022 incident, a salesman of a liquor shop in Orchha pulled down the shutters of the shop after Uma Bharti came here.

At the same time, in the capital Bhopal, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan avoided the questions of reporters about Uma Bharti's statements and her anti-liquor campaign.

Madhya Pradesh government is going to bring a new liquor policy soon.

The Chief Minister had said during the Republic Day celebrations in Jabalpur on January 26 that the new excise policy would discourage liquor.

Due to this, there is a possibility of increasing the price of liquor in the state.

Uma Bharti had earlier insisted for complete prohibition in Madhya Pradesh.

However, for the last few months, she has been demanding proper regulation of the sale of liquor.

Elections are to be held in Madhya Pradesh at the end of this year.
