Chattisgarh education minister explains benefits of liquor; blames good roads for accidents in viral videos

Two videos of Chattisgarh education minister Dr Premsai Singh Tekam are going viral on social media in which he can be seen explaining the benefits of consuming alcohol and reasons behind road accidents.

In one of the videos, he can be heard talking about the benefits of liquor and hot to properly drink alcohol. Ironically, the user who tweeted the video claims that he was speaking at a deaddiction programme.

"People talk about alcohol and the harms associated with it, but no one talks about the many benefits also attached to it. Also, when we talk about alcohol, we should remember the proper way of drinking it, there is dilution and there is a proper ratio in which alcohol should be diluted with water," he can be heard saying at the event.



In another video, the Congress leader can be heard saying that road accidents don't take place where the road is bad but happens where the road is good.

"We get calls from people about the poor conditions of the road, but road accidents don't occur on those roads. While, the places with very good roads, their people drive at full speed, and accidents happen there," the minister can be heard saying.


The viral videos have ignited a debate on "social media" regarding the credibility of Tekam as an education minister.

The exact location and timings of both videos cannot be confirmed as of now.
