I have no moral right to speak about liquor: CM Siddarammaiah

Speaking in Mysuru CM Siddaramaiah honestly told that even he had consumed alcohol. He even said that Karnataka gets the highest revenue from the Excise Department. Unless complete alcohol ban is declared in all the states the order will not be effective, he said

Karnataka Chief Minister is known for his witty comments, and here he is back with one such comment on liquor consumption.

Speaking at a prize distribution ceremony in Mysuru CM Siddaramaiah honestly told that even he had consumed alcohol.

"Even I have consumed alcohol. But yes, I did conclude that it was a mistake. Still, as I have consumed alcohol, I don't think I have a moral right to ask people to stay away from their drinking habits," he said reports One India.

He even said that Karnataka gets the highest revenue from the Excise Department.

"Everyone says that alcohol should be banned completely. But it is not possible unless it is banned across the states. One state banning alcohol will not have the desired effect. Out state will completely extend support to any such initiative," he said.
