Delhi Government Cabinet Minister Kapil Mishra has made a scathing attack on former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He said that the case regarding liquor policy is still in the High Court and the matter is not completely over. He said that Arvind Kejriwal is overacting. Even when he was in the government, he used to mislead the public and is doing the same even today. The people of Delhi remained troubled for 11 years and now the truth is in front of everyone.
Kapil Mishra said, “Both the Supreme Court and the High Court have made serious comments in the liquor policy matter. Despite this, Kejriwal declared himself innocent. If the liquor policy was correct then why was it withdrawn as soon as the complaint was made?” He alleged that many mobile phones were broken as soon as the investigation started.
Was accused of benefiting businessmen
This matter is related to the new liquor policy for the year 2021-22. At that time the Delhi government had ended the old system and given more responsibility to private companies. Later allegations were made that there were irregularities in the policy and some businessmen were benefited. CBI and ED had started investigation in this case. Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was also arrested in this case.
There was talk of revenue loss in CAG report – Kapil Mishra
Kapil Mishra further said, “The commission of wholesalers was increased from 5 percent to 12 percent.” He also cited the CAG report, which talked about revenue loss. However, Aam Aadmi Party has already termed these allegations as politically motivated and has been saying that no corruption took place.
People’s court is the biggest – Kapil Mishra
During the press conference, the minister also raised the issue of cleanliness of Delhi’s roads, water, sewer, schools, hospitals and Yamuna. He said that the situation has worsened instead of improving in 11 years. The public court is the biggest. The people of Delhi have given their answer in the elections.
It is noteworthy that Aam Aadmi Party had suffered a big setback in the last assembly elections. Many big leaders had lost the elections. However, now this matter has reached Delhi High Court and the decision of the court will be important in the coming times. Political experts believe that this issue will continue to resonate in the coming elections also. It will be raised loudly especially in the politics of Delhi, Gujarat and Punjab.
