Delhi-NCR News, October 17, 2022: The AAP has launched a hectic poll campaign in Gujarat, with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Sisodia visiting and campaigning in the state regularly over the past two months
Delhi News: Two months after registering an FIR over alleged irregularities linked to Delhi’s excise policy, the CBI has summoned Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to join its investigation at 11 am Monday at its headquarters in Delhi. “They are preparing to arrest me by making a completely fake case against me. I was to go to Gujarat for election campaign in the coming days. These people are losing Gujarat badly. Their purpose is to stop me from going to Gujarat election campaign,” Sisodia tweeted today.
The BJP, meanwhile, accused the AAP of doing “pressure politics” following the CBI’s summons to Deputy CM Manish Sisodia for questioning in connection with its investigation into the excise policy. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia, at a press conference, said CM Arvind Kejriwal was the “kingpin” of scams his ministers are accused of. “These days, Kejriwal compares himself to god and his ministers to freedom fighters. Kejriwal should be ashamed as his corrupt ministers are filling his coffers while Bhagat Singh sacrificed his life for the country,” Bhatia alleged.
In other news, BJP national president JP Nadda, while addressing the Panch Parmeshwar Sammelan, said the saffron party won’t allow AAP’s corrupt government to stay and would defeat them in the upcoming MCD elections. Speaking at the BJP’s Panch Parmeshwar Sammelan held at Ramlila Maidan, he told party workers: “The BJP will trounce the AAP in the MCD polls and, thereafter, in the Assembly election. Tell the people of Delhi about the AAP’s corruption.”
