Delhi excise policy case: Continuing its relentless attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the controversial Delhi excise policy, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (November 11) said that the policy details were leaked to Delhi minister Manish Sisodia’s friends before being made public.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said, “The excise policy was made public on July 5, 2021, but a copy of the policy was leaked on May 31, 2021, to the friends of Manish Sisodia that included manufacturers and cartels.
Patra also went on to claim that ‘advance’ payment of Rs 100 were taken from two businessmen who have now been arrested.
“When the whole excise policy issue came as a scam and a CBI probe were initiated 140 mobile phones were changed by 34 people including accused number one Manish Sisodia. These phones were crushed to erase digital evidence,” he said.
