What was the new liquor policy?
On March 22, 2021, Manish Sisodia announced the new liquor policy. On 17 November 2021, the new liquor policy i.e. Excise Policy 2021-22 was implemented. After the new liquor policy, the government came out of the liquor business and all the liquor shops went into private hands. The government's reasoning behind bringing the new policy was that it would end mafia rule and increase government revenue. However, the new policy was surrounded by controversies from the beginning. As the uproar increased, on July 28, 2022, the government canceled the new liquor policy and reinstated the old policy.
