NEW DELHI: BJP on Wednesday claimed that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was the “kingpin” of the alleged liquor scam, adding that the CM was coming closer to “handcuffs”.
Party spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia claimed that Dinesh Arora, one of the accused in the case, had told the probe agency that he had paid a bribe to Kejriwal. “Arora has admitted that he paid Rs 32 lakh as a bribe to Kejriwal by a cheque on being asked by Sanjay Singh at the meeting to pay for the party fund,” Bhatia said. He accused Singh of being involved in the case as Kejriwal’s “left hand”.
Bhatia alleged, “His right hand, Manish Sisodia, has been languishing in jail for several months. Both the left hand and the right hand of Kejriwal are involved in corruption. It’s Kejriwal who forces his MPs and ministers to commit corruption to fill his coffers.”
He dared the CM to hold a press conference and clarify if he had not received a bribe of Rs 32 lakh by cheque from Arora.
Bhatia claimed that there were three “facts” that needed attention. “Arora, the first accused in the scam, has confessed that a meeting of liquor traders was held at the CM’s residence. Extortion was being carried out at the CM’s residence, commissions were being fixed and these things have been accepted by none other than the accused Dinesh Arora,” he said.
At the behest of Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh asked Arora to put Rs 32 lakh in AAP’s party fund, Bhatia alleged. “This makes it clear that the bribe of Rs 32 lakh was paid through cheque, but crores of rupees were paid in cash,” he said. Bhatia claimed that the AAP leaders were still playing the “victim card” by dubbing action against them as politically motivated “even though their involvement in the scam is crystal clear.
Delhi BJP also claimed on Wednesday that the leaders of the party that had portrayed itself as staunchly honest were getting exposed before the public and soon chief minister Kejriwal would be behind bars.
The leader of opposition in the Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, claimed, “Now the investigation is reaching the mastermind of the scandal… Those who were together in the liquor ‘scam’ are now revealing the truth.”
Holding a press conference at the party office along with MP Parvesh Sahib Singh, MP Manoj Tiwari said AAP’s Singh was arrested after his “colleagues” became approvers in the case. “This trail of corruption, which started with Satyendar Jain, has now reached Sanjay Singh, the day is not far when Kejriwal will also be behind bars.”
It seems that the people of Delhi have started getting justice, claimed Singh. “It can only be Kejriwal who does such corruption and thinks that no one will know about it. Increasing the commission from 2% to 12% is the biggest corruption.”
Since morning, the AAP MP had been claiming that nothing was found in his house, “but he should tell us whether any cash was found in the houses of the accused during the investigation in the fodder and 2G scams”, Singh said. When an investigating agency conducts raids, it does so with evidence, he claimed.
AAP is the first party whose big leaders are going to jail, and they haven’t got bail even after applying for it 40 times, he said.
