Punjab’s excise policy in controversy

In fact, the excise policy of Punjab is also in dispute. Akali Dal and Congress called it a copy of Delhi. He says that when there was a rift in the policy, then the policy of Punjab should also be investigated. Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal even claimed that there was a scam of 500 crores from the policy. The beans are wholesalers in Delhi and Punjab. In this, the commission for the wholesaler has also been increased. Congress and Akali Dal also demanded a CBI inquiry into the Punjab Excise Policy by giving a letter of demand to the Governor.

The reason for the raid on Naresh Dubey

The important thing in this matter is that if no other excise officer has been investigated in Punjab, then is Naresh Dubey connected with Delhi’s excise policy. Has he been involved in making the excise policy? Questions are being raised about whether he is close to any of the accused named in any liquor policy or is he close to anyone in the Delhi government.
