Delhi
BJP MP Anurag Thakur unveiled a poster on the ‘Delhi liquor scam.’ He said, “Delhi’s ‘Mahathug’ Arvind Kejriwal, along with his associates, has been involved in the liquor scam of Rs 2026 crore. When he had to present this CAG report in the assembly, you got upset. We are asking this question again and again and will keep asking why he did not take the excise policy that he had made along with his colleague Manish Sisodia to the cabinet, and if your policy was beneficial, then why did you withdraw it? You will now have to answer all these questions.”
The BJP MP said, “What is the crime that you are hiding? No matter how much you try to hide it, this sin of your scams is deep. Yes, this scam is worth Rs 2026 crore. And I will ask again and again, Arvind Kejriwal ji, why did Anurag Thakur and BJP people ask this question again and again? We are asking this because what was the compulsion that you ignored the report of the committee? You made this policy in collaboration with your childhood friend Manish Sisodia. What was the compulsion that you did not take the liquor policy to the cabinet?
Anurag Thakur said, What was the compulsion that you did not get it approved from LG Sahab, and what was the compulsion that you did not allow the retail traders who had given their licenses before time to get it back?” There was a loss of about 890 crores in the purchase of liquor.
Similarly, in the zonal contracts that were given, you gave contracts to your favorites, like Arvind Kejriwal ji. There has been a loss of about 941 crores in it, and similarly during the time of Covid, when people were yearning for their breath, you could not provide oxygen, but on the other hand, you waved off 144 crores of your favorites, which was not mentioned anywhere in the policy, and if your policy was so good, why did you take this policy back? If it was so revolutionary, then why did you take it back?
Anurag Thakur said that now he has another question. If the CAG report has come, this is Kejriwal’s report; it is CAG’s report; it has evidence; it has figures; then why are Aam Aadmi Party’s hands trembling before presenting it in the assembly? What is the compulsion that you do not want to discuss it? You are not answering. After all, what is there in the CAG report that there is no straw in the thief’s beard? Here everything is black on you. That is why you will have to answer. And what I am going to show you is the truth, and this truth will not be hidden. It has come to light in front of Delhi that this is a scam of 2026 crores. Delhi was ruined. When three friends got together. You, Kejriwal ji, and Manish Sisodia ji will have to answer for the scam of 2026 crores.
