Rahul Gandhi Exposes Kejriwal’s Liquor Scam and Sheeshmahal Controversy
Rahul Gandhi Slams Arvind Kejriwal Over Liquor Policy Scam and ‘Sheeshmahal’ Controversy
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack before the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. He took direct aim at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He called him the “architect of the liquor scam.” He also accused him of extravagant spending on his official residence, now infamously referred to as “Sheeshmahal.” Gandhi’s remarks come at a time of escalating political tensions. The liquor policy case continues to haunt the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Congress Targets AAP Over Liquor Policy Scam
Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally. He accused Kejriwal and AAP leaders of orchestrating a massive corruption scheme through the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. The controversial policy led to multiple arrests and investigations. It allegedly favored private liquor vendors at the expense of public interest. The scam has already led to the arrest of senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia. Ongoing probes keep the heat on the Kejriwal government.
“The so-called anti-corruption crusaders have become the biggest looters,” Gandhi said, taking a dig at AAP’s claims of clean politics. He further asserted that Kejriwal’s government had been exposed and that the people of Delhi would not forgive such betrayal.
‘Sheeshmahal’ Controversy: Kejriwal Under Fire
Apart from the liquor scam, Kejriwal is also facing backlash over his lavish official residence, dubbed ‘Sheeshmahal’ by his critics. The mansion’s reported renovation cost of over ₹45 crore has triggered outrage. Opposition leaders are calling it a blatant misuse of taxpayers’ money.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated. He claims that the liquor policy case is an effort to derail AAP’s progress. He has accused both the BJP and Congress of orchestrating a smear campaign against his government.
“Delhi’s poor struggle for basic amenities. Meanwhile, Kejriwal sits in his Sheeshmahal, living like a king,” Rahul Gandhi remarked. He urged voters to see through AAP’s “double standards.” The BJP continuously attacks Kejriwal over the issue. They demand explanations for the exorbitant spending on his official residence.
Political Fallout and 2024 Elections
With the general elections approaching, Congress is looking to capitalize on AAP’s troubles to regain its lost ground in Delhi. Gandhi’s aggressive stance indicates that Congress is prepared to challenge AAP’s dominance in the national capital.
As Delhi gears up for elections, the battle lines are drawn. Corruption charges are pending. Governance issues need addressing. Credibility is at stake. The coming months will be crucial for all major political players in the city.
Conclusion
The liquor policy scam has placed the AAP government on the defensive. The ‘Sheeshmahal’ controversy adds to their challenges. These issues give opposition parties fresh ammunition ahead of elections. Whether these allegations impact voter sentiment remains to be seen. Yet, one thing is certain—the political landscape in Delhi is set for an intense showdown.
