New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party leader Anurag Thakur on Saturday in his attack on AAP leader Arvind Keijriwal alleged that he is the “kingpin” of the liquor scam and there was a loss of Rs 2,026 crore to the Delhi government.
Talking to the reporters Anurag Thakur presented 10 findings from the CAG report and accused Kejriwal of “deceiving the public”.
Thakur also alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government had caused a Rs 2,026-crore loss to the exchequer in Delhi through the liquor scam and asked “why AAP had not presented the report” in the Delhi assembly.
He alleged that AAP had promised to build ‘pathshala,’ “but instead they constructed ‘madhushala.”
“They talked about ‘jhaadu,’ but it led them to ‘Daaru.’ They spoke of ‘Swaraj,’ but it turned into ‘Sharab.’ The journey of the past 10 years of the AAP government is marked by corruption and ‘AAP ka paap.’ There is not just one but multiple scams that have taken place. This is a government whose eight ministers, 15 MLAs, one MP, and even their CM and Deputy CM went to jail. Since Independence, there has been no government that has committed as many sins as AAP has. That is why ‘AAP-da’ must go from power,” the BJP leader alleged.
Referring to findings in the CAG report, he said “finding one reveals a revenue loss of Rs 2,026 crore while Finding 2 points to deviations from the original objectives of the policy”.
He asked why the CAG report was not tabled in the Delhi assembly despite Delhi Lieutenant Governor writing to Chief Minister Atishi.
He also attacked Kejriwal, accusing him of being silent on the CAG report.
