Delhi liquor scam: Anna Hazare writes EXPLOSIVE letter to Arvind Kejriwal, calls him 'POWER DRUNK'

New Delhi: Amid a bitter political row over the Delhi liquor scam, anti-corruption crusader and noted social activist Anna Hazare has written a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressing his anger over the issue and calling him “power drunk.” In his letter addressed to Kejriwal, who was his companion during India Against Corruption movement in 2012, Hazare said that the Aam Aadmi Party which was a result of the anti-corruption movement has also started “following the path of other parties.” 

“10 years ago on 18 September 2012, all the members of Team Anna had a meeting in Delhi. At that time, AAP had talked about adopting the political path. But you forgot that forming a political party was not the aim of our movement. At that time there was a belief in the public's mind about Team Anna,” the noted Gandhian activist said in the read. 

“Just as there is an intoxication of alcohol, in the same way, there is an intoxication of power. You too have drowned in the intoxication of such power,” he added. 

 

 

CBI officials search Sisodia's bank locker

Hazare’s explosive letter to Kejriwal, who was once his close aide, came on a day when the CBI searched Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's locker in connection with the liquor scam probe. A team of about five Central Bureau of Investigation officials reached the PNB branch at Sector 4 Vasundhara in Ghaziabad, on the outskirts of the national capital, to execute the search, officials said. Sisodia was at the bank with his wife.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader is among the 15 people and entities named in an FIR registered by the agency in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi government's Excise Policy 2021-22.

On August 19, the federal probe agency raided 31 locations, including Sisodia's residence. Sisodia has been saying he has been made an accused in a false case to stop the march of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has emerged as an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

During a special session of the Delhi Assembly on Friday, the AAP leader had claimed that the BJP-led Centre is acting like a serial killer to eliminate state governments and described the CBI FIR against him as "fake" and based on "mere sources".
