New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday arrested in an excise policy-linked money laundering case. This comes hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant protection to the AAP national convenor from any coercive action by the agency. Soon after the arrest, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a scathing attack against the Delhi CM and said that the people of the national capital voted Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for better schools but they opted to open liquor shop.

Talking to news agency ANI, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said, “The people of Delhi had voted you into power to make better ‘paathshala’ but you opened a ‘madhushala’. When action is being taken against this corruption with the nod of the court, when you skipped 9 summons of the ED, you still play the victim card. The SC has traced a money trail of Rs 338 crore.”

“Walking in the footsteps of Lalu Prasad Yadav, he did not cooperate with the investigation and now talks about running the government from jail,” he added.
