While talking to news agency ANI, Yadav said, "It is shameful that (empty) liquor bottles were found in the Bihar Assembly premises. It shows the failure of the administration (in enforcing liquor prohibition)."
"The home minister should resign. Those sitting in power are patronising liquor mafias," he added.
