Nitish’s ‘No Compensation in Hooch Cases’ - Good Riddance....they should instead invest in curbing the illegal hooch makers.

Even as Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has come under sharp criticism over the 70 hooch-related deaths in Saran district, it has thrown light on one question — is the state government legally duty-bound to pay financial relief to victims’ kin?

Kumar on Thursday angered the opposition and public over his “crass and insensitive remarks” over hooch deaths. “Piyoge to maroge (those who drink, will die). We are not going to give a single penny to those who died after consuming spurious liquor. I have instructed my officers not to arrest poor people, but instead go after those who run illegal liquor cartels in the state.”

Kumar said that the government was ready to give financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh to start small businesses to those who were into the business of making desi liquor.

Senior JD (U) leader Upendra Kushwaha also made a scathing remark. “Demanding compensation for hooch victims is akin to asking relief for someone who manufactures and plants bombs. Will the state government pay for people who plant bombs? It never happens.”
