Delhi BJP leaders and workers on Wednesday distributed handbills to commuters outside several metro stations, demanding dismissal of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia over alleged irregularities in the City Government's now-scrapped excise policy.
The leader of opposition in Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, who was distributing handbills outside Vishavvidyalya Metro Station, said that the people of Delhi should also know that Kejriwal is shining his politics with the help of false propaganda and what are his misdeeds.“We have a clear question to Kejriwal if he answers it, then probably the people of Delhi will get the answer of more than half the questions. Why did Kejriwal and Sisodia, who were all praise about the new excise policy in Delhi calling it a policy of profit for revenue, withdrew it later? Not only this, Kejriwal says that the number of liquor shops was not increased, but why were then more than 850 liquor shops opened everywhere?,” Bidhuri said.
He said that Manish Sisodia himself used to say in the Vidhan Sabha that there are 100 wards of Delhi where liquor vends cannot be opened, but why did he open them in clear violation of the master plan.“Delhiites want to know that when Kulwinder Marwah himself, who is the contractor of L-1, himself gave information about the money transactions in the sting operation, then why Kejriwal government is still keeping Sisodia in the cabinet,” said Bidhuri.
BJP, MP, Ramesh Bidhuri said that the sale of liquor has more than doubled under the new excise policy, but still how has there been a loss of Rs 3000 crores in revenue? “Why was the commission increased from two per cent to 12.5 per cent to benefit the liquor mafia? All these questions will be asked to Kejriwal and his favorite Manish Sisodia till they answer it or they accept their wrong doings and sack Sisodia,” said the MP.
He said that in a book called Swaraj, Kejriwal himself has written that before opening liquor shops in any area, a decision will be taken by asking the women and RWA organization there, but under the new excise policy, one wonders whose permission was taken for opening these vends.
