Indian PM Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday protested outside AAP's offices in the capital, demanding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resign from his post over the alleged scam in the now-scrapped excise policy of his government. Kejriwal's AAP is currently in power in Delhi, while the BJP is the main opposition party in the union territory. In videos circulating on social media, BJP members could be seen confronting the police and attempting to run over barricades placed to keep them away from the AAP's offices. Some demonstrators held placards and shouted slogans directed against Kejriwal and his party.The BJP's latest attack against Kejriwal came after the Enforcement Directorate (ED), India's federally-run anti-corruption watchdog, filed a second charge sheet in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi liquor policy.In the latest development in the case, the ED claimed to have found evidence that part of the alleged $12.16 million in kickbacks that the AAP received through the suspended policy was used in the party's poll campaign in Goa last year.The AAP government withdrew the policy last year after Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena ordered a CBI probe into the matter following complaints of alleged kickbacks received by Delhi's ruling party's top politicians, including Deputy State Chief Manish Sisodia.Kejriwal has refuted all allegations, declaring that the charges were "fake" and only aimed to assist the BJP in toppling his democratically-elected government.AAP No.2 and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been named as a suspect and questioned in the case in the past. The others accused in the complaint are bureaucrats related to the excise department, including then Excise Commissioner Arva Gopi Krishna, Deputy Commissioner Anand Tiwari, and Assistant Commissioner Pankaj Bhatnagar.

BJP Supporters Protest Against Arvind Kejriwal Over Alleged Delhi Liquor Policy Scam
16:41 04.02.2023 (Updated: 17:14 04.02.2023) The BJP has accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of receiving kickbacks from its government's liquor sales policy, which was discontinued last year.
Indian PM Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday protested outside AAP's offices in the capital, demanding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resign from his post over the alleged scam in the now-scrapped excise policy of his government.
Kejriwal's AAP is currently in power in Delhi, while the BJP is the main opposition party in the union territory.
In videos circulating on social media, BJP members could be seen confronting the police and attempting to run over barricades placed to keep them away from the AAP's offices. Some demonstrators held placards and shouted slogans directed against Kejriwal and his party.
The BJP's latest attack against Kejriwal came after the Enforcement Directorate (ED), India's federally-run anti-corruption watchdog, filed a second charge sheet in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi liquor policy.
In the latest development in the case, the ED claimed to have found evidence that part of the alleged $12.16 million in kickbacks that the AAP received through the suspended policy was used in the party's poll campaign in Goa last year.
The AAP government withdrew the policy last year after Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena ordered a CBI probe into the matter following complaints of alleged kickbacks received by Delhi's ruling party's top politicians, including Deputy State Chief Manish Sisodia.
Kejriwal has refuted all allegations, declaring that the charges were "fake" and only aimed to assist the BJP in toppling his democratically-elected government.
"The Enforcement Directorate must have filed 5,000 cases. The ED is meant to topple governments and buy and sell MLAs (lawmakers)," he said before labeling the charge sheet "complete fiction."
AAP No.2 and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been named as a suspect and questioned in the case in the past. The others accused in the complaint are bureaucrats related to the excise department, including then Excise Commissioner Arva Gopi Krishna, Deputy Commissioner Anand Tiwari, and Assistant Commissioner Pankaj Bhatnagar.
