New Delhi: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia, who is facing corruption charges in the implementation of Delhi Excise Policy, on Monday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party had asked him to join the saffron party in order to get all the cases closed by ED and CBI initiated against him. 

“I received a message from the BJP — Break the AAP and join the BJP, will get all CBI ED cases closed,” he tweeted. 

Highlighting that “all the cases against me are false” Sisodia said, “My reply to BJP - I am a Rajput, a descendant of Maharana Pratap. I will cut off my head but will not bow down in front of the corrupt-conspirators. All the cases against me are false. Do whatever you want to do.”

मेरे पास भाजपा का संदेश आया है- “आप” तोड़कर भाजपा में आ जाओ, सारे CBI ED के केस बंद करवा देंगे

मेरा भाजपा को जवाब- मैं महाराणा प्रताप का वंशज हूँ, राजपूत हूँ। सर कटा लूँगा लेकिन भ्रष्टाचारियो-षड्यंत्रकारियोंके सामने झुकूँगा नहीं। मेरे ख़िलाफ़ सारे केस झूठे हैं।जो करना है कर लो

On Sunday, a Look Out Notice was issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation against eight accused in connection with the alleged violations in implementation of liquor policy in Delhi which was introduced earlier this year but was later rolled back. 

The Look Out Notice was issued by the federal probe agency against 8 out of the 9 persons named in the FIR lodged in this matter. 

“CBI issues Look Out Circular (LOC) against eight private persons named as accused in the Excise Policy case. Total 9 private persons have been named in the FIR. Except for Manoj Rai, ex-vice president of Pernod Ricard, LOC has been issued against all private persons,” quoted news agency ANI as CBI sources said. 

Recently the CBI had conducted raids at Sisodia’s residence, office and 30 other locations in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of Delhi liquor policy.
