Liquor Policy Row: BJP Releases Video Allegedly Showing Opposition Politician Receiving Kickback
13:23 GMT 05.09.2022 (Updated: 11:42 GMT 10.12.2022) Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been in hot water over the now-rolled back liquor policy which had been introduced in November 2021. The BJP suspected it had violated rules and that there were procedural lapses with the policy.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main Opposition party in Delhi, on Monday released footage that could cast a shadow on the city's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and primarily Delhi Deputy State Chief Manish Sisodia.
Sharing the sting video via its official Twitter account, the BJP's Delhi unit said that Sisodia received kickbacks for issuing liquor licenses under the policy. What's more, the whistleblower responsible for exposing the alleged bribery is rumored to be the father of Sunny Marwah, one of those
accused in the corruption case.
BJP spokesman Sambit Patra later commented that the son of the man in the video had handed over cash to Sisodia.
Slammig Delhi State Chief Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia, Patra said: “When Kejriwal came to power, he had asked people to do sting operation against any corruption, send the recording to him and he will show the truth. Today, through this press conference we have shown the truth of master of sting operation Arvind Kejriwal.”
The BJP spokesman added: “The modus operandi as revealed in the video is that 80% profit will go to Kejriwal and Sisodia through the middleman,” adding that Sisodia has no escape route now.
Questioning the veracity of the video, Sisodia resplied to the accusations: "They stood on the road, sat someone in a car, and asked them some question. Is it a sting?"
Delhi's Deputy State Chief also accused BJP of trying to stop the Delhi government from promoting the public welfare.
"Every time they level allegations, they are not able to give the exact amount of money involved in it. They even got the (federal probe agency) CBI to file an FIR (First Information Report), and tried to drag my name in legitimate dealings between two companies, that too by just quoting sources," he said.
Sisodia that said he got a “clean chit” after the CBI did not manage to “find anything during [the] raid at my residence and while checking my bank locker.“
The CBI
conducted raids at 31 locations including Sisodia’s residence in August. Since then, both the parties have been engaged in a political slugfest as days after the raids were conducted, Sisodia claimed that a BJP politician had sent him a message saying that all cases against him would be closed if he crossed over to their side.
