In Bihar, the prohibition law has become a joke, says Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the opposition in Bihar, criticized the state government's 10-year prohibition policy, accusing it of being "institutional corruption" and enabling a multi-billion rupee illegal liquor market. He cited data showing an increase in seizures and consumption despite the law's implementation, alleging that the government has failed to curb illicit liquor trade and instead is promoting corruption. Yadav also pointed out that the prohibition policy has disproportionately targeted poor communities and led to deaths from spurious liquor.
