Karnataka: JDS MLA sparks row with free liquor demand

Bengaluru, Mar 19 (UNI) A JDS MLA MT Krishnappa triggered a furore in the Karnataka Assembly by suggesting the state government extend the scope of its freebies by providing two free bottles of liquor every week.
Speaking during a debate late Tuesday evening, Krishnappa said, "You (state government) are giving women Rs 2,000 per month, free electricity and free bus travel. Anyway, it is our money. So, those who drink should be given two bottles of liquor free every week. Let them drink. What is wrong with that?"
His comment drew reactions from several members, with Energy Minister KJ George swiftly responding, "You win the election, form the government and do it. We are trying to make people drink less alcohol."
