But now, people have become aware, and they want every corrupt element to be taught a lesson,” Bhatia said during a press conference.
Speaking on the Delhi Liquor policy case involving the former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Bhatia said, Sisodia is intrumental in furthering the shameful activities and he has been strongly 'inebriated' by the corruption. “The Court has rightly said that the custodial interrogation of Manish Sisodia is a must.

During the press conference, Bhatia also slammed Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister KCR, K Kavitha and said that if a person is honest and not involved in any law-defying act then they will clearly say so but K Kavitha has not said anything like that while being questioned by ED.
“If it is an honest person, who is not involved in any law-defying act, they'll clearly say so without ifs or buts. But K Kavitha is being questioned & she hasn't said anything like that. They'll play the victim card but won't answer the public's questions: Gaurav Bhatia said as quoted by the news agency ANI.

It seems that this corruption is so massive that when all links are getting connected, people too are pained that these corrupt people looted… https://t.co/cxBNGaRuWm

It seems that this corruption is so massive that when all links are getting connected, people too are pained that these corrupt people looted them & filled their own coffers, he added.
Gaurav Bhatia launched a scathing attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that earlier Kumar himself demanded action against former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi and Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and now when the action is being taken, he is not talking about the facts. He further said that this is why the public calls Nitish Kumar “Paltu ram”.
“That's why the public calls Nitish Kumar ji paltu Ram... Nitish ji, didn't you demand that there are serious allegations of corruption on Lalu Yadav ji, Rabri ji and Tejashwi ji and action should be taken against them but today when the action is being taken, why are you not talking about the facts,” Gaurav Bhatia said.
नीतीश कुमार जी को पलटू राम जनता इसीलिए कहती है... नीतीश जी, क्या आपने मांग नहीं की थी कि लालू यादव जी, राबड़ी जी और तेजस्वी जी पर भ्रष्टाचार के गंभीर आरोप हैं और इन पर कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए लेकिन आज जब यह कार्रवाई हो रही है तो आप तथ्यों पर बात क्यों नहीं कर रहे।
