'Kejriwal chor hai': Massive BJP protest outside AAP HQ over Delhi liquor scam
UPDATED: Feb 4, 2023 13:47 IST
Days after Arvind Kejriwal's name appeared in the chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the excise policy scam, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a massive protest outside Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headquarters in Delhi and demanded Kejriwal's resignation as chief minister.
Visuals from the AAP headquarters showed BJP supporters raising slogans like 'Kejriwal chor hai'.
The protests come after the ED said the Aam Aadmi Party used the money generated from the alleged Delhi liquor scam for election campaigning in Goa. "Investigation of the trail of this kickback so far has revealed that part of these funds were used in the election campaign of the AAP," said the ED in the chargesheet filed in the case.
According to the ED, cash payments amounting to almost Rs 70 lakh were made to the volunteers who were part of AAP's survey teams. The probe agency said AAP's communications in-charge Vijay Nair "told certain persons involved in the campaign related work to receive the payments in cash".
Meanwhile, Kejriwal responded to the ED's charge and said it was "completely fictional".
