Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday launched a counterattack on the BJP, claiming that states ruled by the saffron party had the worst track records in terms of spurious liquor deaths. Another BJP-ruled state, Haryana, stood at number four. Even in Gujarat, a dry state from where the Prime Minister also hails, the number of hooch deaths during the period was 50 while for Bihar it was only 21, Yadav said.
