New Delhi: BJP on Saturday sharpened its attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, with Union Minister Anurag Thakur describing him as the “kingpin” of the “liquor scam” in the capital.
Addressing a press conference here, Thakur said the AAP should not try to divert attention from the excise scam by raising other issues as its “real face has been unmasked”.
Taking a dig at Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Thakur referred to him as “Money Shh”, alleging that alleges he makes money and maintains silence.
“AAP made tall claims earlier too but could not stand before PM Modi,” stated Anurag Thakur on AAP’s claim of being the main challenger to BJP in 2024.
Thakur was flanked by Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta and Lok Sabha member Manoj Tiwari.
The CBI on Friday morning carried out searches at the residences of Sisodia and IAS officer Arava Gopi Krishna apart from 19 other locations after registering an FIR in connection with the alleged corruption in the implementation of the Delhi excise policy.
