Kachchi sharaab will soon be stacked on show in liquor shops in Madhya Pradesh. On Monday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced that the state government will be bringing a new excise policy that will legalise liquor made out of mahua. This legalised mahua liquor will be sold as "heritage liquor" in wine shops. Congress condemned the move from the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government, calling the decision to legalise ‘kacchi sharab’ as BJP’s moral decline. Congress spokesperson KK Mishra was quoted by ANI as saying that the state government’s decision to legalise ‘kacchi sharab’ was unfortunate.
