Former UP Chief Minister and SP President Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday attacked the BJP government for the hooch deaths in Uttar Pradesh blaming the party to be allegedly involved in the smuggling of spurious liqour.
"The Opposition has been notifying the government about such activities, but they did not wake up as some of its leaders are involved. The truth is that without the backing of the government, such businesses cannot be carried out. The BJP should accept the fact that they cannot run the state." told Yadav to a News source.
The death toll has reached to 56 after the people consumed the spurious liqour in the Kushinagar and Saharanpur region of the state.
The Additional Director General Anand Kumar had confirmed the toll and said that the police and excise is actively searching for the loopholes and smuggling in the state and the same will be curbed very soon.
