GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 19th August. Union Minister Anurag Thakur slammed the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday for alleged “liquor corruption” under the party’s revamped excise policy.
Thakur’s remarks came on the same day that the CBI conducted searches at 21 locations in Delhi and the National Capital Region, including Manish Sisodia’s office.
According to a CBI official, searches are underway in seven states and one union territory, including the offices of the former Excise Commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna and two other government employees.
The revamped Excise policy was approved during the tenure of former Excise Commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna.
“No matter how hard a corrupt person tries to prove himself innocent, he will still remain corrupt. This is not the first case of corruption by AAP. There has been huge corruption in the liquor stores in Delhi,” Thakur said.
The Union Minister alleged that Delhi’s liquor policy was withdrawn on the same day a CBI investigation was ordered into it. “If there was no scam in the liquor policy, why was it withdrawn?” Thakur asked.
Thakur also claimed that Kerjiwal was protecting corrupt people.
“Even when Satyendra Jain went to jail for corruption, he did not sack him and then he (Jain) claimed that he lost his memory. The Excise Minister has become Excuse Minister but I hope that his memory should not be lost,” Thakur said.
Delhi health minister Jain is currently in judicial custody after being arrested in connection with a money laundering case.
