The BJP on Tuesday once again targeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying he cannot escape responsibility for the “liquor scam” that took place under his government.
Delhi BJP’s working president Virendra Sachdeva said Kejriwal never cared to reply to the “grave questions” raised by the saffron party over the “liquor scam” and defended former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, who is currently in jail in connection with a case pertaining to alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the excise policy for the national capital. Sachdeva asked Kejriwal why the wholesale liquor business in Delhi was handed over to private players, despite a technical committee’s recommendation that it should be handled by the government.
“Why was the commission for wholesalers raised from 5 percent to 12 percent against the recommendation of the committee,” said the BJP. jriwal is the mastermind of the liquor scam.
