If anyone eats Salfas, he/she should die. What would the state government do? People would die if you were involved in selling poisonous liquor.""You (Tejashwi) are just levelling allegations on the state government and your men are involved in selling liquor. You should make people aware about the consequences of drinking liquor," Deepa said.During the by-elections, RJD chief Lalu Prasad used the word "Bhakchonar" (Stupid) for Bhakta Charan Das, the Congress state in-charge of Bihar.
