New Delhi: As the Enforcement Directorate has accused the Aam Aadmi Party of defraying the Goa election expenses with funds obtained from the liquor policy scam, Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal has hit back with a flurry of accusations.
When he met reporters in Delhi in this regard, he said, “Since the BJP came to power in Madhya Pradesh, the Enforcement Directorate has filed 5,000 cases so far. Most of them have been used to destabilize or overthrow state governments. Never has the enforcement department acted on its mission of curbing corruption. “All the charge sheets of the enforcement department are just fiction,” he said.
New charge: In the new charge issued earlier by the Enforcement Department, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Indo Spirits Chairman Sameer Mahendru spoke on video call. It has been confirmed by the Aam Aadmi Party Telecommunication Division Officer Vijay Nair.
Also, the chargesheet also stated that the Aam Aadmi Party spent the money obtained in the liquor policy scam for the Goa elections. Similarly, it has been reported that Rs 70 lakh was spent on Aam Aadmi Party’s survey team for Goa election field survey. It is noteworthy that for the first time in this case, the Enforcement Department has directly charged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Liquor Policy Case Background: Aam Aadmi Party is in power in Delhi. In November last year, the Delhi government implemented a new liquor policy. According to this, Delhi was divided into several zones and more than 800 private establishments were given licenses to sell liquor. Criticisms arose from various quarters for this. Subsequently, the Delhi government withdrew the new liquor policy last July.
Meanwhile, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena has alleged that there has been a huge malpractice in the implementation of the liquor policy.
