Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta criticized former CM Arvind Kejriwal, stating that the trial court’s acquittal in the liquor policy scam is not a final judgment but a legal process step. Gupta emphasized that labeling it a “clean chit” is misleading, as the case may proceed to the High Court. She questioned the sudden withdrawal of the policy when the investigation started and highlighted discrepancies in the policy changes that raised concerns.
Gupta raised concerns about the significant increase in wholesale profit margins and questioned the need for numerous mobile phone changes during the investigation. She pointed out suspicions surrounding digital records and highlighted previous court observations on financial transactions. The CAG report’s indication of potential revenue loss was also mentioned, stressing the importance of public trust and accountability.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, noting that the judicial process will continue. She expressed confidence in the judicial system’s ability to reveal the truth and deliver a final verdict. Gupta underlined that no one is above accountability, and the truth will eventually prevail through the legal process.
