In a tweet she said: “Liquor mafia from Aligarh to Pratapgarh: making a death orgy across the state. The UP government is silent. Journalists should expose the truth, warn the government of the danger. The government is asleep Has the UP government, the Jungle Raj promotes an answer to the tears of the family members of the journalist Sulabh Srivastava? “
