Amid allegations of irregularities in the Delhi liquor policy, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia would be visiting Gujarat for a two-day visit on Monday.
According to reports, the party aims to send a message that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will provide free and quality education as well as healthcare services if it is voted to power in the state in upcoming assembly polls. Tweeting about the visit, Arvind Kejriwal said, “On Monday, Manish ji and I will go to Gujarat for two days - to guarantee education and health. Like Delhi, We will open good schools, good hospitals and mohalla clinics in Gujarat as well. Everyone will get good education and medical treatment for free. People will get so much relief. Will interact with youth also.”
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is among 15 individuals and entities named in an FIR filed in connection with the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi government's Excise Policy 2021-22. The CBI on Friday searched 31 locations including Sisodia's residence in connection with the case.
The agency alleged that “close associates” of Sisodia were actively involved in managing and diverting the undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licensees to the accused public servants.
Though Sisodia on Sunday claimed that CBI has issued a Lookout Notice against him, CBI denied issuing a notice against him or other accused in the case. A CBI official told PTI that they are still in the process of scrutinising the documents.
