Political uproar on Punjab liquor policy increased: Congress will meet Governor for investigation, Akali Dal is also telling scam of 500 crores

Punjab Congress President Amarinder Raja Vading.

The political ruckus has intensified over the liquor policy of Punjab. The State Congress will meet the Governor to examine the Punjab Excise Policy-2022. It will be headed by Punjab President Amarinder Raja Vading. Earlier, the Akali Dal has also called the liquor policy a scam of 500 crores. The Akali leaders, led by Pramukh Sukhbir Badal, met the Governor. He was demanded to investigate the policy from CBI and ED.

The Akali leaders led by Sukhbir Badal submitted a demand letter to the Governor yesterday for an inquiry into the policy. Sukhbir is continuously claiming that there was a scam of crores in this.

Opponents argue, Delhi and Punjab have the same policy
In fact, opponents in Punjab are arguing that Delhi and Punjab have the same liquor policy. CBI registered a case against it in Delhi. In which Deputy CM Manish Sisodia has also been nominated. However, the Delhi government has withdrawn this policy. Opponents are saying that when there was an alleged lapse in this policy, then it should be investigated in Punjab also.

Sukhbir Badal made these claims
Sukhbir Badal said that Delhi and Punjab excise policy was formulated by the same team. Earlier there were 100 wholesalers of liquor in Punjab. Contractors used to buy cheap liquor from their choice. AAP government made only 2 wholesalers. They also have different brands. The condition of turnover of 30 crores in 3 years for the wholesaler was thrown out of the local businessmen of Punjab. Those who are wholesalers in Delhi, they have this job in Punjab also.
