“Aisa koi bacha nahi jisko Arvind Kejriwal ki party ne thaga nahi’ (There is no one left who has not been cheated by Arvind Kejriwal’s party)”, said Anurag Thakur, BJP Union Minister. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today (on Saturday) takes a jibe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the regular ignorance of the summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The ED now for the fourth time has issued summons to the AAP chief for questioning into the alleged Delhi excise policy case and has asked him to appear before the central probe agency on January 18.
Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports of India, Anurag Thakur questioned Delhi’s Chief Minister and asked “Why is he running away from the investigation?” He said, “From 2011-14, Arvind Kejriwal used to talk big. At that time he used to talk about raising his voice against the corruption of Congress, today he is involved in corruption. Now the question arises that why is he running away from investigation?…”
The Delhi BJP Chief said to ANI, “Every time he (Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal) tries to skip the investigation. The minutes he got the ED summon he said that he will on his Goa trip. You are running away from an investigation because you are scared of answering the questions. You should follow all the rules. This kind of behavior of the Delhi Chief Minister is unacceptable.”
Followed by the BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawallas questioned that if the party stands honest, then why did the reputed ministers Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh not get relief from the High Court? He said, “Arvind Kejriwal has been issued the summons for the fourth time as per the media reports…Why is it that the Congress party is standing in support of the case against you and saying you are corrupt? Why is it that the Supreme Court has not given relief and bail to Manish Sisodia for months now and said a Rs 338 crore money trail has been found? Why is it that Sanjay Singh has not got relief from the high court?… It means that you have something to hide because you’re the kingpin of the liquor scam.”
However, according to the media reports, Arvind Kejriwal is likely to head to Goa from January 18-20 to oversee the poll preparations. Previously ED had issued the third summon against Kejriwal on December 22 last year.
