New Delhi, 2nd Nov. The BJP on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for skipping the ED summons in a case related to the excise policy.
They accused him of evading the truth.
Kejriwal did not show up for questioning and instead sent a letter to the agency asking them to withdraw the notice, stating that it was unlawful and driven by political motives.
“Arvind Kejriwal ran away from the ED’s summon.He does not want to face the truth…It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the Delhi liquor scam king has accepted that he was involved in liquor scam and corruption,” BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra told a press conference here.
Patra asserted that the ED issues summons based on facts and evidence but Kejriwal is running away from facing the probe agency’s questions because he knows the truth.
“Today it’s proved that the one who is ‘kattar’ (outright) dishonest is ‘kattar’ shameless also,” the BJP leader charged, adding, “the ED doesn’t send summons randomly. We firmly believe that ED or any other agency sending summons to Kejriwal was based on some grounds.”
In his letter to the ED, the Delhi chief minister asked in what capacity he was summoned for questioning.
Reacting sharply to this, Patra asked, “Why is this VIP syndrome?…Are you above law? Just because you are Delhi chief minister, no agency can summon you?” “You were summoned as the ocean of corruption, the source of corruption which reaches Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain and then Sanjay Singh,” the BJP leader charged.
Patra also slammed Kejriwal for targeting BJP MP Manoj Tiwari for his claim that he will be arrested. “When Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh were summoned by the ED, you said in your speech that you knew that ED will arrest them,” the BJP leader pointed in a bid to counter Kejriwal. In his letter to ED, Kejriwal claimed that Tiwari had “openly” said on the afternoon of October 30 — the day the summons was issued to Kejriwal — that the chief minister would be arrested.
