Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: Sisodia said, “BJP is using Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against all the opposition leaders who are not listening to them or following their instructions and this is called a ‘dictatorship’ rule.”
Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia today (January 25) said that while doing poll campaigning ahead of the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 we have received positive feedback. “Even the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers are saying that the government of AAP is coming again in Delhi,” Sisodia said on Saturday.
Replying to questions at the daylong India TV conclave ‘Chunav Manch’ in the national capital, Manish Sisodia said, “What common people (‘aam janata’) think about AAP that matters the most for us and not what the BJP leaders and ministers are telling them about Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).”
Former Delhi minister Sisodia spoke on the excise policy scam case and said, “This matter is still in court and only they can take the final decision. The court said the liquor scam case is in the ‘endless tunnel’ and BJP is creating their ‘Manohar kahaniyan’ as the matter was going flat inside the court.
Sisodia added, “They imposed fake cases on me as if I am some terrorist or drug mafia. Even the Chief Justice said that there was nothing important left in the case to discuss further. Later, the agencies found nothing solid against me in the liquor scam case and bail was granted.”
LG Vinai Kumar Saxena created pressure on officials related to this matter so it goes against me.
What is an ‘excise policy case’?
The excise policy 2021 was scrapped in 2022 after the Delhi Lieutenant Governor ordered a CBI probe into alleged irregularities and corruption involving its formulation and execution. According to the CBI and the ED, irregularities were committed while modifying the excise policy and undue favours extended to licence holders.
Misuse of agencies against opposition
BJP is using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against all the opposition leaders who are not listening to them or following their instructions and this is called a ‘dictatorship’ rule. It will not be known as ‘bhagwat bhakti’ as they are using ‘tanashahi’ pattern for the AAP leaders.
Delhi Assembly elections
The Delhi Assembly elections will take place in a single phase on February 5, with the counting of votes set for February 8. A total of 699 candidates are competing for the 70 assembly seats in Delhi. The Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and failed to win any seats. In contrast, AAP dominated the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections, winning 67 and 62 seats, respectively, out of a total of 70 seats, while BJP secured only three and eight seats in these elections.
