New Delhi: Turn of ‘kingpin’ will also come said Anurag Thakur
BJP MPs and MLAs protest against Delhi Government, at Rajghat
Union minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday said the deputy chief minister of Delhi and others have landed up in jail in connection with an excise policy case and the turn of its “kingpin”, who is still out, will also come
New Delhi : Union minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday said the deputy chief minister of Delhi and others have landed up in jail in connection with an excise policy case and the turn of its “kingpin”, who is still out, will also come. Talking to reporters at the Swami Vivekananda airport in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur, Thakur targeted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that those who were elected to power by raising the slogan of “India against corruption” have now been found steeped in corruption.
The Union youth affairs and sports minister arrived here to attend a couple of events. AAP’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh was on Wednesday arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in New Delhi in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the 2021-22 Delhi Excise policy case.
Asked about Kejriwal’s allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Singh’s arrest, Thakur said, “People are laughing at Arvind Kejriwal ji and tension can be seen on his face. They are those people who came by raising the slogan of ‘India against corruption’ and are now found steeped in corruption”. In Punjab, it (AAP) got elected to power and within two months, the state health minister had to resign due to corruption, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said. “Kejriwal ji has no answer to the liquor scam that has brought shame to him.
So far, the deputy chief minister (of Delhi) and others have gone to jail, but the kingpin is still out. The probe is underway and the turn of the kingpin will also come,” Thakur said. The persons to whom Kejriwal had distributed “certificates of honesty” are in jail since the last one year. Who gave him the right to distribute the certificates? he said. “Agli kiski baari hai, ye media ke headline banne ki tayyari hai (whose turn is next is going to be the media’s headline),” he added.
