Calling AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal the "kingpin" of liquor scam, BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Wednesday said that he attempting to enter Rajya Sabha through the "backdoor."
"All I would like to say is that the 14 CAG reports were stopped from being tabled in Vidhan Sabha. AAP and Arvind Kejriwal intended to see that their corruption is not revealed to the world and is not discussed. Now, this has come before the world and has been tabled in the Delhi Assembly. PM Modi had said that we will table the report once we come to power (in Delhi) and CM Rekha Gupta has done this. Now, it is clear that the kingpin of the liquor scam is Arvind Kejriwal. To save face, he is making his Rajya Sabha MPs vacate their houses and attempting to enter Rajya Sabha through the backdoor," Anurag Thakur told ANI. He further said that the Punjab Government runs through "remote control." "So, I would like to ask the people of Punjab - do you want Arvind Kejriwal, who runs the State Government through remote control, as an MP from Punjab?" he added The speculation began after the Aam Aadmi Party's nomination of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjiv Arora as the candidate for the Ludhiana West assembly by-election. It was speculated that the RS seat held by Sanjiv Arora would go to the AAP convenor. On Tuesday, CM Rekha Gupta presented the CAG report on the liquor policy in the Assembly. Ahead of the session, a meeting of BJP MLAs was chaired by CM Rekha Gupta, where discussions were held regarding the report and the smooth functioning of the House. The 'Performance Audit on Regulation and Supply of Liquor in Delhi' covers a period of four years from 2017-18 to 2020-21 and examines the regulation and supply of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and Foreign Liquor in Delhi. The report is one of the 14 pending CAG reports on the previous Aam Aami Party government's performance. (ANI)
