AAP's liquor scam in Punjab should also be exposed: Tarun Chugh
BJP leader Tarun Chugh
BJP national secretary and Telangana BJP affairs in-charge Tarun Chugh charged that the liquor nexus mafia comprising Kejriwal, Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and K. Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao, operated in Delhi to extort money running into crores of rupees.
Hyderabad: BJP national secretary and Telangana BJP affairs in-charge Tarun Chug charged that the liquor nexus mafia comprising Kejriwal, Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and K. Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao, operated in Delhi to extort money running into crores of rupees.
In a statement on Friday, he demanded a central agency inquiry into the excise scam in Punjab also, which happened soon after the AAP government came to power.
Chugh said an in-depth inquiry needs to be conducted into how money laundering took place in Punjab as well after a prolonged tug-of-war between the AAP government and liquor cartels.
He suspected that the money laundering in Punjab might have been used by AAP in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections.
Chugh said media reports are suggesting that a liquor nexus mafia comprising Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Steyndra Jain and K. Kavitha, daughter of Telangana chief minister KCR, operated in Delhi to extort money running into crores of rupees. He said a similar exercise was conducted in Punjab as well, which needed an in-depth inquiry. He said the investigation into alleged kickbacks of Rs 100 crore related to the excise policy "revealed that parts of these funds were used in the election campaign of AAP for Goa Assembly elections 2022." Chug said it was a grave matter of national security that a cartel was created by top AAP leaders to continuously generate illegal funds".
