New Delhi’s political landscape heated up on Thursday as Delhi BJP President Virender Sachdeva unleashed a scathing attack on former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, branding him a master of deceit, lies, and corruption. Sachdeva accused Kejriwal of misleading the public yet again following a court dismissal of two Enforcement Directorate (ED) petitions related to his non-appearance for questioning in the high-profile Delhi liquor scam.
Kejriwal took to social media platform X, posting ‘Satyamev Jayate’ – India’s national motto meaning ‘Truth Alone Triumphs’ – in what Sachdeva called a brazen attempt to portray himself as exonerated in the main liquor policy case. However, the court merely quashed two summons issued by the ED prior to any arrest, deeming them non-maintainable.
‘Sachdeva condemned Kejriwal for misusing these sacred words, arguing that dodging ED summons does not equate to innocence. He emphasized that Kejriwal remains the prime accused in the ongoing liquor scam trial, where evidence of massive irregularities in liquor policy allocations points to deep-rooted corruption benefiting private players at the expense of public coffers.
The BJP leader predicted a certain conviction and imprisonment for Kejriwal, stating the courts will deliver justice soon. Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor echoed these sentiments, slamming Kejriwal’s post as yet another lie. Kapoor clarified that dismissal of pre-arrest summons complaints becomes irrelevant once an arrest occurs, followed by bail – the core case against Kejriwal persists unabated.
This episode underscores the intensifying legal and political scrutiny on AAP’s national convenor amid allegations of policy manipulations that allegedly generated crores in kickbacks. As the trial progresses, Kejriwal’s fate hangs in balance, with BJP vowing to expose every layer of the scam. Public discourse demands accountability, and the courts appear poised to affirm that truth will indeed prevail.
