SPG President Lalji Patel raises questions while demanding removal of prohibition in Gujarat

According to a TV9 Gujarati report, heated discussions have once again started in political and social circles regarding the prohibition law in Gujarat. Mehsana-based SPG (Sardar Patel Group) President Lalji Patel has demanded the complete removal of prohibition from Gujarat. This statement by Lalji Patel has come after the high-profile liquor party incident that took place in Rajkot, which has added further heat to this issue.

Lalji Patel has stated that despite the ban, liquor and narcotic substances are openly and easily available in Gujarat. Due to this situation, the youth of not only the Patidar community but all communities are falling victim to addiction on a large scale. Questioning the government's ability to maintain law and order in the state, Lalji Patel said that due to weak law and order in the state, the sale and consumption of liquor and drugs is going on fearlessly.

Pradesh President also presented the argument that if the ban is lifted, people who drink liquor can consume it while remaining in control, which will help curb current illegal activities and their by-products. Lalji Patel believes that he is concerned because the current youth are going down the wrong path. He emphasized that despite prohibition, the highest amount of liquor is seized in Gujarat and it is consumed openly, which is proof of the failure of prohibition.

Builder Association Vice President Dhruvik Patel had also spoken about abolishing prohibition and expressed readiness to start a fight on this issue in the coming time, which Lalji Patel has fully supported. Lalji Patel said that people can consume it for pleasure like other states, but one should not become double while passing through here. Other Patidar leaders like Purushottam Pipaliya and former women's president of Umiyadham Sidsar Jyoti Tilva had also made such statements on social media, which Patel also supported.

Lalji Patel further added that whenever anything is banned, the benefit goes only to the people running the administration, meaning those who do illegal activities. Lalji Patel suggested that if liquor is permitted, the drinking class will drink while remaining in control. Patel has appealed to parents to become aware. He said that parents will have to take care of their children and check their mobiles and chatting so that they know what their sons and daughters are doing. Patel advised creating a religious atmosphere at home and maintaining friendly relations with children so that positive control can be maintained over children. These statements have sparked new discussions regarding the future of prohibition in Gujarat.
