BJP stages protest outside AAP headquarters against Arvind Kejriwal over Delhi liquor scam, workers raise slogans of Kejriwal chor hai
CM Arvind Kejriwal had termed the allegations by the ED as fake and cited that such allegations are happening to topple the elected government.

Reports have come to light from the National Capital where Bharatiya Janata Party organised a protest outside Aam Aadmi Party’s headquarters over the liquor scam. The BJP demonstrators were demanding resignation of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over allegations of corruption pertaining to the liquor sales policy.
It was also reported that the BJP workers were raising slogans of Arvind Kejriwal chorr hai (Arvind Kejriwal is a thief) as the saffron party continued to demonstrate outside the AAP headquarters.
The protest by the BJP comes after the Delhi Chief Minister had questioned the veracity of the Enforcement Directorate’s claims and dismissed the investigation agency’s allegations. The supplementary chargesheet had named Vijay Nair, Sharath Reddy, Binoy Babu, Abhishek Boinapalli and Amit Arora.
CM Arvind Kejriwal had termed the allegations by the ED as fake and cited that such allegations are happening to topple the elected government. Aam Aadmi Party convener had also stated that the investigation agency doesn’t file cases with the objective to stop corruption, but rather to help BJP poach MLAS.
Following the chargesheet by ED, the BJP slammed the Arvind Keriwal government and said that the chargesheet has acted as a tool to unmask the real face of Delhi Government. Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari had also alleged that the liquor mafia bribed 100 crore Rs to Arvind Kejriwal’s aid acting on the direction of the Delhi CM.
A court on Thursday accepted the supplementary chargesheet against five accused, as well as seven companies in the case of alleged inconsistencies in the Delhi excise policy. The Delhi government had scrapped off the Delhi excise policy last year after the CBI ordered an investigation into the alleged corruption.
The ED has claimed that a sum of Rs 100 crore bribe was also used in the Aam Aam Party’s Goa campaign for the assembly elections.
