Delhi’s political landscape heated up as Atishi, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, dispatched a damning letter to the Public Accounts Committee. Labeling the excise policy saga a BJP-fabricated scandal, she celebrated court judgments that have cleared the air once and for all.
The courts’ stance is crystal clear: no scam in Delhi’s liquor policy, baseless accusations against Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia dismissed, CBI case thrown out. Atishi proclaimed this a resounding win for truth and Delhi’s voters against orchestrated vilification.
She painted a picture of BJP’s malfeasance – flooding the discourse with lies, coercing agencies into vendettas, plotting to unseat an elected regime, and imprisoning voices of the people. This wasn’t politics; it was an assault on the democratic edifice.
Atishi pressed PM Modi and LG Saxena to step up with candor, acknowledge the machinations, and tender unconditional apologies to the leaders and Delhi’s masses. Only then can trust be rebuilt.
With this letter, AAP seizes the moral high ground, reframing the scandal as institutional abuse. As the PAC reviews, expect ripples across national politics, spotlighting Centre-state frictions and agency impartiality in the lead-up to electoral showdowns.
