'Will Sisodia too lose memory?' Anurag Thakur attacks Kejriwal for shielding 'corrupt'
New Delhi, July 23: After Delhi's lieutenant governor VK Saxena suggested a CBI investigation into the Delhi Excise Policy due to alleged violations of procedural lapses, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday and accused him of shielding the "corrupt."
The Union Minister added that the "AAP government has set new records of corruption."
"You've sheltered the corrupt and the way in which you lied on TV yesterday and couldn't respond to any of BJP's allegations shows that LG's recommendation to MHA holds ground. Corrupt ministers should resign. A corrupt man like you has no right to be in power," Anurag Thakur further said.
Highlighting Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain, who is in judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case, the Union Minister stated," You're(Arvind Kejriwal)silent on LG's letter to MHA for CBI probe into corruption allegations. It shows corruption by your people under your nose. There were allegations against Satyendar Jain who lost his memory in jail. Will Manish Sisodia too lose memory?."

Thakur further stressed that the Delhi CM made tall claims but has set new records of corruption.
"One corruption instance after the other is coming out from your departments. You made tall claims before entering politics but your government has set new records of corruption," he stated.
The Union Minister's remarks come after Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena recommended a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the alleged violations of the Arvind Kejriwal-led government's new contentious excise policy including "deliberate and gross procedural lapses" made by deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to "provide post tender undue benefits to liquor licensees."
