BJP MLAs hold mock Assembly session in Delhi, slam AAP govt over liquor "scam"

"The Kejriwal government did not open a single school or hospital in entire East Delhi but dotted it with liquor stores everywhere."
A day after being marshalled out from the special session of the Delhi Assembly, BJP MLAs held a mock house sitting on Saturday and slammed the AAP government over the alleged liquor "scam".
The mock assembly session was held at the Ambedkar International Centre during which BJP members wore masks to impersonate Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia and other ruling party MLAs.
The eight BJP MLAs were marshalled out for the entire day over alleged video recording of the special session on Friday.
During the mock session, the MLAs took turn to ask questions and slam the Kejriwal government over the alleged liquor "scam", which they could not do in the House on Friday. They asked why Kejriwal government withdrew it's excise policy after a CBI probe was recommended by the LG V.K. Saxena.
"The Kejriwal government did not open a single school or hospital in entire East Delhi but dotted it with liquor stores everywhere," charged Rohtas Nagar MLA Jitendra Mahajan.
Opposition Chief Whip Ajay Mahawar said Mr. Sisodia had claimed that the new excise policy 2021-22 will earn ₹9,500 crore but it failed to match even ₹6,000 crore it had earned under old regime.
"Kejriwal who took his MLAs to Rajghat which is Mahatma Gandhi's memorial saying he followed in his footsteps yet he is turning Delhi into liquor city," Mr. Mahawar said.
