Delhi BJP protests outside Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, demands Manish Sisodia’s expulsion from Cabinet

Delhi BJP leaders on Sunday staged a protest outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence demanding his deputy Manish Sisodia’s expulsion from the Cabinet over charges of corruption

Delhi BJP chief alleged that Sisodia “colluded with the liquor mafia to rob the city exchequer of crores of rupees”.

“Sisodia has now understood that the CBI is going to unveil all the layers of his corruption. Now he is engaged in reversing the whole issue. They are using different tactics to mislead the CBI,” a statement quoted Gupta as saying.

Earlier, Delhi Lt Governor recommended a CBI inquiry into the alleged violation of rules and procedural lapses in the implementation of Excise Policy 2021-22. The policy was implemented by the AAP government in Delhi on November 17 last year.

Under the policy, private firms were issued retail licences for 849 liquor vends across the city divided into 32 zones. The policy has now been withdrawn.

Gupta said his party will continue the agitation until Sisodia is removed from the cabinet.

MPs Parvesh Verma and Hans Raj Hans, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Delhi BJP General Secretary Kuljeet Singh Chahal, MLAs Mohan Singh Bisht, Ajay Mahawar, O P Sharma, Anil Vajpayee, Abhay Verma and Jitendra Mahajan were among those present at the protest.

“We demand that Sisodia be immediately sacked from the Cabinet so that Delhi can be prevented from further ruin,” Gupta said in the statement.

Meanwhile West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma accused Kejriwal of indulging in”political tourism”.

“Since a CBI inquiry has been instituted against the deputy chief minister, Sisodia should immediately resign from his post if he has any morality left,” the statement quoted Verma as saying.

Bidhuri alleged that the Excise Policy 2021-22 was approved by ignoring the rules and regulations.
