CAG Report On Delhi Liquor Policy Scam Case: ‘₹ 2,026 Crore Loss’, ‘Violation In Issuance of Licences’ – DETAILS

Published

2 weeks ago

on

January 11, 2025

By

New Delhi: A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the now-scrapped excise policy by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi pointed out several “lapses” in the policy. The CAG report claimed that Rs 2,026 crore loss was incurred to the exchequer. The report was released days ahead of the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025. The report alleged that AAP leaders got “kickbacks”. Notably, it is a draft CAG report as it is yet to be tabled in the Delhi Assembly.

The CAG report also claimed that licence norms were flouted. Notably, the then deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was heading the excise department when the policy liquor excise policy was introduced in Delhi. The report highlighted that Sisodia ignored recommendations by the expert panel over the policy.

It also pointed out that arbitrary decisions were taken without any approval from the Lieutenant Governor.

– The 2021 liquor policy caused a whooping loss of Rs over 2,000 crore.

– The entities bidding for the license were not financially strong, yet they were allowed to bid.

– The approval from the then Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and the cabinet was not taken.

– Deviation from the objectives of the policy.

– There is a lack of transparency.

– Violation in the issuance of licences.

Breakdown of the total losses:

As per the CAG report, some of the retailers did not surrender their licences before the expiry of the policy and they were not rendered by the AAP government causing the loss of Rs 890 crore. Zonal licensees were granted exemptions, which reported caused an additional loss of Rs 941 crore. Meanwhile, another license fee waiver of Rs 144 crores was also granted to zonal licensees on the pretext of the COVID restrictions.

The AAP questioned the existence of the CAG report on the Delhi liquor policy scam case.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress lhit at the AAP over the repoprt.

“… CAG has revealed the whole story of the corruption of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, who has played the role of a broker by destroying the happiness of Delhi… This is the same CAG report which Arvind Kejriwal used to wave in 2013 to fight against Sheila Dikshit and today the same CAG report has declared Arvind Kejriwal corrupt…” BJP leadre Manoj Tiwari told ANi.

“CAG has said that there has been a scam of Rs 2000 crores in the liquor policy… Now it is clear that he (Arvind Kejriwal) has done wrong… He has emptied the government treasury. If Rs 2000 crores have been spent in 6 months due to the liquor policy. If that scheme was still running, we would have suffered a loss of Rs 10,000-12,000 crores,” Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit stated as reported by the news agency.

Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena bats for Kejriwal, accuses Delhi L-G of BJP bias, nudges Cong

Published

January 9, 2025

By

Mumbai, Jan 9: The Shiv Sena(UBT) on Thursday raised questions about the neutrality of the Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) during the election season, alleging that he was favouring the BJP. It has also attacked the Congress party for attacking AAP instead of BJP.

Uddhav Thackerary’s party though its mouthpiece Saamana has alleged that the L-G’s actions favour a particular political narrative.

The hard-hitting editorial titled ‘Haryana, Maharashtra and now Delhi’, said: “Delhi is a union territory where L-G is supreme. But he is now working as the Union Home Ministry’s agent. After the Model Code of Conduct for the upcoming Delhi Assembly election came into force, the L-G withdrew the powers of the chief minister and all ministers. He is working for the BJP which is quite dangerous. Even though the Election Commission is singing a tune of transparency in conducting the election, behind the curtains, a lot of things in favour of the BJP are happening. The BJP will stoop to any low to win the Delhi Assembly election. People should remain alert and careful.”

The Saamana editorial attacks the Prime Minister, Home Minister and BJP’s central ministers, saying that they have swung into action for the party’s victory. It says that the BJP has set the goal of defeating Arvind Kejriwal and capturing the Delhi Assembly and can go to any extent to defeat the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi which is not appropriate.

It added, “On moral grounds, PM and HM should keep themselves away from the Delhi Assembly election which is in the larger interest of the democracy.”

“We will win everywhere and assume power is BJP’s policy. A new democracy has dawned in the country, wherein, not a single political opponent should exist. The country has witnessed it in Maharashtra and Haryana and now the time for Delhi. There have been irregularities in Delhi’s voters list as a lot of names have been excluded terming them Rohingyas and Bangladeshi residents. AAP had complained against it but the Chief Election Commissioner is not ready to accept the former’s argument. The CEC has claimed that EVMs cannot be hacked, it is not possible in India,” says the editorial.

The editorial has targeted its INDIA bloc ally, the Congress party for stepping up attacks against AAP instead of BJP.

“The contest in the Delhi Assembly election is between BJP and Aam Aadmi Party only. Congress party is in the fray and it is attacking Arvind Kejriwal and AAP instead of Bharatiya Janata Party. The people of Delhi must be surprised at this…,” claims the editorial. The editorial alleges that the BJP can go to any extent to hijack the Delhi Assembly election while appealing to the people to be careful and alert.

Bihar: BPSC re-exam for one centre today; students’ protests to intensify

Published

on

January 4, 2025

By

New Delhi, Jan 4: The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) is conducting a re-exam on Saturday for candidates of the Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre, where irregularities were reported during the 70th Preliminary Examination. However, students and political parties have vowed to disrupt the exam today.

Over 10,000 candidates are expected to appear for the re-exam, which will take place at 22 separate centres.

However, protests have escalated as students demand the cancellation of the entire examination and a retest across Bihar. BPSC Secretary Satyaprakash Sharma stated there is no justification for a statewide re-exam, reiterating that the commission has no plans for further retesting.

Earlier on Friday, in Patna, the agitation led by former MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav disrupted railway services at Sachiwalay Halt station and halted vehicular movement. Left-leaning student organisations joined the protests, some of which were held without prior administrative permission.

Despite heavy police deployment, Rajesh Ranjan and his supporters entered the railway premises, sitting on tracks in solidarity with candidates on a 17-day hunger strike.

The protests stem from allegations of widespread irregularities in the BPSC Preliminary Examination. The demonstrators argue that limiting the re-exam to one centre is inadequate and unfair to other candidates.

The district administration has registered cases against Rajesh Ranjan and others for obstructing public services.

However Rajesh Ranjan has vowed to continue the agitation until justice is delivered, including taking the matter to the Supreme Court.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the cause, stating: “We will go to the Supreme Court on this issue. BPSC has done wrong and it has to cancel the entire examination. We will continue to protest on this matter. Our protest will continue in the future until the paper leak in Bihar and the country is stopped.”

With tensions rising and the administration on alert, the situation remains volatile. Further disruptions are anticipated as candidates and their supporters continue to demand statewide action.
