BJP Leaders Demand Inquiry into Allegations That Tejashwi Violated Prohibition Law in Dry Bihar – News18

Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi has demanded an inquiry into the allegations of recently disqualified RJD MLC Rambali Singh that Tejashwi Yadav has been ”consuming liquor” in violation of the state’s stringent prohibition law.

However, Singh, who lost his Bihar legislative council membership two days ago on the charge of working against the party line, maintained that the senior BJP leader (Sushil Modi) had taken out of context word uttered by him during a ”loose talk” which got recorded on camera without his knowledge.

Singh claimed that he never took the name of RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav during the conversation. ”I never took the name of Tejashwi Yadav It was a loose talk which got recorded on camera without my knowledge. Somebody asked me during conversation whether Tejashwi Yadav consumes liquor or not. On this, I said the prohibition law is a complete failure in the state and those who were consuming liquor earlier, are consuming even after the ban”, Singh told .
