Liquor ‘scam’: AAP trying to divert issue, says BJP

The BJP recently released a sting tape allegedly exposing the role of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the liquor scam. However, Sisodia denied all the claims against him.

New Delhi: Delhi BJP MLAs have written to the CBI, the agency probing the alleged liquor policy scam, for necessary action over alleged attempts by the ruling AAP to divert the issue, the party said on Thursday.

Addressing a press conference here, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said Kejriwal, who earlier assured people of action if he was provided sting videos as proof of corruption, should take action or tender a public apology.

“A recent sting video clearly exposes the AAP as it claims to be ‘kattar imandar’. Despite this, it has been trying to divert the issue. Delhi BJP MLAs, in view of this diversionary tactics and inaction by the Kejriwal government, suspect that it will not let a proper investigation happen into the irregularities in the excise policy,” he said.
