Taking a dig at the AAP following Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh’s arrest in the excise policy case, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said the proverbial handcuffs were reaching the Chief Minister himself.
“The right hand of the mastermind of the liquor scam has been behind bars for 7.5 months; today his left hand, Sanjay Singh, too is gone. Now it’s the 10-headed corrupt Ravan Arvind Kejriwal’s turn,” he said.
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said that the masks being worn by the staunchly honest were slowly slipping: “The law is doing its job, and now the investigation is reaching the mastermind of the scandal… Those who, together, committed a liquor scam, are now revealing the truth and naming names.”
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said Singh’s arrest attested to the fact that the truth always prevails. “… it was known right from the beginning that Sanjay Singh is one of the kingpins of the scam with close contact with an accused, Dinesh Arora, who after turning approver led to clinching evidence against Singh,” he claimed.
Northeast Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari also said the Delhi CM’s arrest wasn’t a distant possibility after Singh’s arrest.
BJP national spokesperson Anil K Antony wrote on X: “Very ironic that a party that was once formed on an anti-corruption plank has its whole top leadership implicated in various scams with the liquor scam the biggest. These are open and shut cases as the ones behind bars including Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain haven’t got bail… in months. Yet AAP cries political vendetta after each action.”
