Uma Bharti ties stray cows in front of liquor shop in MP's Orchha town

Niwari (MP), Feb 2 (PTI) Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti on Thursday tied stray cows in front of a liquor shop in Orchha town of Madhya Pradesh and fed them hay as she called upon people to drink cow milk and shun alcohol.

The former chief minister, spearheading a campaign against liquor consumption in the BJP-ruled state, maintained the government should not cash in on the habit of drinking.

Standing in front of the shop selling Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) in Orchha, a town in Niwari district famous for its temples and palaces, after tying the cows, Bharti was heard raising the slogan “Sharab Nahi, Doodh Piyo (drink milk not liquor)".
