BJP demands CBI probe into Punjab’s liquor policy

Mohali: BJP Mohali team today held a protest demanding a CBI investigation into the liquor policy of Punjab, citing allegations of significant corruption similar to that in Delhi’s Excise Policy.
After the arrest of Manish Sisodia, deputy chief minister of Delhi for alleged corruption in Delhi’s excise policy, the Bharatiya Janata Party has targeted the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.
It is pertinent to mention here that hiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Tuesday said that time was running out for corrupt Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ministers and officers supporting them and that they would meet the same fate as Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and party leader Satyendra Jain. Reacting to the resignation of Sisodia and Jain, SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said “the scams the AAP leadership has perpetuated in Punjab on the command of its convener Arvind Kejriwal are even bigger than what they are being hauled up for in Delhi”. He said the arrest of Sisodia and Jain had opened the way for prosecution of corrupt ministers and officers who had acted in the same manner in Punjab.
