New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday trained its guns against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleging that there were several discrepancies between what was recommended by the panel and what was implemented by the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government. 


Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in the national capital, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia cornered Kejriwal saying that his silence on the corruption charges proves that he is “hardcore dishonest”. 


Further attacking the Delhi CM, Bhatia said that Arvind Kejriwal’s “arrogance” will be shattered by the people of Delhi whose question he is not answering. 


"Earlier, we had given 24 hours to him to respond to the charges. If he's a 'kattar emandar' (hardcore honest man) why is he not answering the questions being raised. Only one tweet has come up which is meaningless. We again give 24 hours to Kejriwal to answer questions on charges of corruption in the Delhi excise policy," he said.






Referring to the alleged violations in implementation of liquor policy in Delhi, Bhatia said that the AAP leader was “breaking records in corruption”. He also alleged discrepancies in what was recommended by the panel of Delhi excise policy and what was implemented by the AAP government.


A lottery system was to be adopted for awarding contracts in retail vending. The city was divided into 32 zones, Bhatia said and showed documents of both the policy as well as the recommendations of the panel.

The lottery system wasn't followed by the Kejriwal government and zones were awarded to 'some' industrialists which is worrisome, he alleged.


"And, the silence of Kejriwal on corruption charges in excise policy proves that he is hardcore dishonest ('kattar beiman')," Bhatia alleged.


BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri who was also present during the press conference targeted Kejriwal asking why he was not answering the questions being raised on the excise policy.
