The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticised Aam Aadmi Party and its leader Manish Sisodia for his grand speech ahead of his CBI questioning pertaining to the liquor scam case. In a grand premier, Sisodia, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi led a roadshow amid sloganeering and placards brought waved on his way to the CBI office.
However, AAP’s show of strength and celebration ahead of the CBI questioning did not go down well with BJP. Party’s spokesperson Sambit Patra while taking a dig at Manish Sisiodia’s party said that the event management won’t help in hiding corruption.
Converting corruption into event management won’t help them hide corruption. AAP did not give any answer on the liquor policy scam. One thing is clear, they are busy hiding the truth. They should give answers to CBI, event management isn’t required,” the BJP leader told ANI.
For the unversed, AAP leader and Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was on Sunday called in for questioning by CBI in the infamous Liquor Policy Scam case, in which he has been named as one of the accused. At the time of the scam, Sisiodia was the excise minister of the national capital and is accused of waiving excise and granting licenses in exchange for favours amid other financial discrepancies.
Addressing his supporters ahead of the probe session, Sisodia said it’s a “challenging time” and reiterated that he was not scared of going to jail.
Reciting Ram Prasad Bismil’s immortal lines, “Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna”, the Deputy Chief Minister said he had always worked with honesty and thanked his family for their constant support.
Meanwhile, AAP leaders including Sanjay Singh were on Sunday detained by Delhi Police for protesting outside the CBI office against Sisodia’s questioning.
