Where Is The Money In Excise Policy 'Scam'? Arvind Kejriwal To Reveal Details Tomorrow, Says Wife
Arvind Kejriwal has been issuing instructions from jail to his Cabinet ministers to ensure that there is no disruption in delivery of public services.
Sunita Kejriwal on Wednesday said that her husband Arvind Kejriwal will reveal the whereabouts of the money in the "so-called liquor policy scam" on March 28 in court. She also said that Arvind Kejriwal will also furnish proof of his innocence. "They couldn't recover a single paisa in multiple raids. So where is the money? Arvindji will reveal everything on March 28. He will furnish proof as well," she said.
Sunita Kejriwal hit out at the BJP for filing a complaint against the Delhi CM for issuing a government order from jail. She said that the order was issued to benefit the people of Delhi and there was nothing wrong with it. Sunita Agarwal also said her husband's sugar levels were not healthy.
"I met Arvind Kejriwal in jail yesterday, he has diabetes and sugar level is not under control. However, his determination is strong. Two days ago, he directed Delhi Minister Atishi to resolve the water and sewer-related issues. What wrong did he do? The Centre has filed a case against Arvind Kejriwal even for this. Do they want to finish Delhi," she asked

She said the Delhi CM told her that the ED has conducted over 250 raids so far in the "so-called excise policy scam", but not a single paisa has been recovered. "They raided Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendar Jain, but couldn't recover anything. They found only Rs 73,000 at our house," she said.
Kejriwal Continues Orders From Jail
Sunita Kejriwal, a former IRS officer, in a video message on March 23 delivered Arvind Kejriwal's message to the people. The Delhi CM said that although he had been arrested, he would fulfil every promise he had made to the people of Delhi. In line with his commitment, he issued his first order from the Enforcement Directorate custody on March 24, asking his Cabinet and officials to ensure an adequate supply of water to the people of Delhi as the summer sets in.
He issued the second set of instructions from jail on Tuesday. He asked Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj to fix issues related to the mohalla clinics and resolve troubles faced by the people.

BJP Files Complaint With ED
Soon after Arvind Kejriwal issued his first order from the jail, the BJP claimed that it was a forgery. The BJP targeted Delhi minister Atishi and accused her of using forged papers and passing them off as "orders directly from the CM". BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said: "There is no provision in the Constitution of India under which Kejriwal could have issued the others. This is a blatant misuse of the Chief Minister's Office and breach of trust of the people of Delhi." He filed a complaint with the Delhi Lt Governor and the Enforcement Directorate.
I've filed complaints with @LtGovDelhi and @dir_ed about a Fabricated official order on Delhi Govt letterhead, supposedly from CM Arvind Kejriwal, who's in ED remand until March 28.
