Chirag Paswan calls toddy a 'natural product', says not liquor under prohibition law

Union Food Processing Minister Chirag Paswan on Monday said toddy should not be classified as liquor, calling it a “natural product” and expressing concern over its inclusion under Bihar’s prohibition law. Responding to Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav’s recent remarks, Paswan, who heads the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), said, “I have said many times that as an NDA partner, my party may be supporting the government in the state, but it is not part of the regime here. I certainly believe that toddy, a natural product, must not be considered liquor.”
