Delhi : New liquor policy was made with the approval of LG, CBI should investigate – Manish Sisodia
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has spoken of a CBI inquiry regarding the new liquor policy in a press conference today. Manish Sisodia has made a big allegation in the press conference regarding the new liquor policy of the state government. Sisodia has said that the Lieutenant Governor changed the decision to cancel the new liquor policy without talking to the cabinet. Due to this, the Delhi government suffered a loss of thousands of crores. Sisodia said that the new liquor policy was implemented only after the approval of the Lieutenant Governor. We demand a CBI inquiry into this matter.
Sisodia said, “I have sent details to the CBI to investigate how the government has benefited some people by altering the pass policy. I am sending documents to CBI for investigation of this matter. The LG decision has resulted in loss of thousands of crores to the government and the shopkeepers.

The suggestions given by the Lieutenant Governor were also included – Sisodia
Sisodia said, “In the new excise policy of 2021, we had said that only 849 shops will be kept, but their distribution will be kept in the same manner. In May 2021, the cabinet passed, after which the Lieutenant Governor made some suggestions, they were also included and it was said that the number of shops in Delhi will not be increased, but will be kept uniformly throughout Delhi, which had illegal colonies. LG Sahib passed it twice without any objection, but when the proposal to open the shops was sent on November 2021, the shops were to be opened from November 17, but 2 days ago i.e. on November 15, the Lieutenant Governor added a new condition to unauthorized areas. I should get approval from MCD and DDA, while they have been giving approval earlier also.
Government has lost thousands of crores of revenue- Sisodia
Sisodia said, “Due to the sudden change of stand of LG, shops could not open in unauthorized colonies, they went to court. The court said that fees should not be charged from them, due to which the government lost thousands of crores of revenue. Due to this change, shops were not found in many places, whose opening benefited them a lot. I am sending documents to CBI for investigation of this matter. Due to this LG’s decision, thousands of crores of rupees have been lost to the government and shopkeepers have benefited.
What was said on the increasing corona cases in Delhi?
Mani Sisodia said that the cases of corona are increasing in Delhi, but now the corona has reached such a situation that there is Kovid in normal life. There is no need to panic, but the government has made complete arrangements. If it increases further then a decision will be taken on that.
