Digital Desk: BJP MLA
from Chhattisgarh, Dr Krishnamurti Bandhi, advised using bhang or cannabis
instead of alcohol because people who consume bhang are less likely to commit
serious offences like rape, murder, and dacoity.
An argument broke out
over the MLA's remark when a leader of the ruling Congress party began to
interrogate the MLA.
According to reports
from PTI, the Congress leader questioned how a public figure could support an
addiction.
According to the
state's chief minister, the MLA must propose the idea to the federal government
