New Delhi: Delhi Deputy CM and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia is on the CBI radar these days. Meanwhile, a big lie of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has been exposed and his pole has been opened by a leader who was once his colleague. In fact, Yogendra Yadav, a former AAP leader and currently playing the role of a farmer leader, has broken his silence on the ongoing controversy over the excise policy in Delhi. He gave a statement on an old video of Paramjit Katyal saying that he was aware of the incident.
Yogendra Yadav tweeted, "Paramjit Ji had informed me about this incident 7 years ago. Then I inquired and found that his point was completely true. On the orders of Arvind Kejriwal, in December 2013, his own MLA was made to call in the name of the BJP. Due to such acts, we were disillusioned with the AAP leadership.'' Amid the ongoing tussle between the AAP and the BJP over the liquor policy, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya tweeted on Tuesday night and shared a new video.
Amit Malviya wrote in his tweet, 'If Arvind Kejriwal nominates Satyendra Jain for Padma Vibhushan, Sisodia for Bharat Ratna and himself for Oscar, then he should tell that the new liquor excise policy immediately after the inquiry is ordered. Why was it reversed? How much bribe did you get for this? What is the total loss to the Delhi government?' Along with this, Amit Malviya has also shared an old video, which is of former AAP secretary Paramjit Singh Katyal. In fact, Kejriwal had at one point accused the BJP of trying to buy 35 AAP MLAs.
But, Paramjit Katyal has claimed that he and others were instructed to name senior BJP leaders like Arun Jaitley and Nitin Gadkari to offer AAP MLAs a break from the party in exchange for money. Katyal said 'The funny thing is when we heard Arvind Kejriwal on TV saying that BJP is luring his MLAs and trying to buy them and offering them 35 lakhs. I realized for the first time that I was doing something wrong. Actually, these phones were installed by Kejriwal himself in the name of BJP leaders and then tried to take political advantage by falsely accusing BJP, now former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav has also exposed this lie of Kejriwal.'
