On Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party slammed Arivnd Kerjriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, saying, "AAP signifies 'Aur Adhik Paap.'" The remarks came after the Enforcement Directorate raided MP Sanjay Singh's home in connection with a money laundering investigation relating to the suspected Delhi excise policy scam.

"AAP signifies 'Aur Adhik Paap,' and the 'paap' (sin) of booze scam is coming out day by day," BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said in a video message on X, previously Twitter.

"Now, we see that instead of delivering a report card on the liquor scam that has taken place under Arvind Kejriwal's watch and patronage, they are playing the victimisation card," said a BJP spokeswoman.

"If Mr Arvind Kejriwal has stated that they (AAP members) are 'Kattar Imandar' (very honest) and have committed no corruption, why are Manish Sisodia and Vijay Nair still in jail?" "Why haven't they been helped?" Poonawalla inquired.

"Today, when two approvers, one of whom is Dinesh Arora - a key architect and mastermind in the entire case (liquor scam) and he has allegedly also given a confession as to how Sanjay Singh is involved, how he was the one to introduce Manish Sisodia, how money was collected and funnelled into AAP's election campaigns in Delhi and other parts," he continued.

Poonwalla stated that there are other proofs, including digital evidence, of how evidence was destroyed and falsified. "There is now information that demonstrates that the 2.5% commission was hiked to 12%." The sting operation revealed how money was gathered and extorted..."


"It is also clear that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) permitted banned and manufacturing enterprises to enter and took no action against them. All of this documentary, digital, and other evidence was presented in court, and the party received no relief. Even now, the AAP plays the victim card "The BJP spokesperson stated.

"Arvind Kejriwal has admitted that there was corruption because they reverted to the previous policies and even extended them. Instead of assisting the people of Delhi during COVID-19, Kejriwal and his team put up liquor outlets in every ward of the national capital "he stated.

ED raids at AAP's Sanjay Singh residence

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched Sanjay Singh's home on Wednesday in connection with a money laundering investigation related to the suspected Delhi excise policy fraud. The raids were carried out a day after a court granted approval to two of the case's suspects.

The ED has already questioned the Rajya Sabha MP from AAP and people connected to him in this issue.

The Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which grants licences to liquor merchants, is said to have facilitated cartelisation and favoured particular dealers who reportedly paid bribes for it, a claim strenuously denied by the AAP.

Raghav Magunta, son of YSR Congress Party Lok Sabha Member Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, and Delhi-based businessman Dinesh Arora were granted approval in a money laundering case relating to the alleged Delhi excise policy fraud by a Delhi court on Tuesday.

Magunta and Arora were both pardoned by Special Judge M K Nagpal, who also ordered them to help with the inquiry and provide whatever information they had regarding the crime to the investigators.

Singh wrote to Finance Secretary T V Somanathan in May of this year, claiming that the ED Director and Assistant Director purposefully connected his name to the alleged liquor scam without any foundation, ruining his public image and defaming him. He also stated that his name was inserted based on Dinesh Arora's remarks.
