No excise license has been issued since last 30 years, bars will be opened in suitable areas after discussion

CM Siddaramaiah had said that no new license will be issued to liquor shops in the state.

No excise license issued since last 30 years and we do not remove bar in village. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said that bars will be opened in suitable areas after discussing this

You can't avoid drinking, we can't. The decision to open a liquor store was taken at the level of the government's finance department. The government has not given license to any liquor shops since last 30 years.

Some are selling license for Rs 3-4 crore. We don't want to give liquor shop to every village. In the coming days, the Chief Minister will discuss with everyone and decide how the job should be done. It is said that you can't avoid drinking, we can't avoid it.
