Liquor policy mess: What AAP government promised vs what CAG report found

India Today  

The now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy formulated by the previous AAP government led to an increased risk of monopolisation and cartel formation as the control of retail licences was concentrated in very few hands, according to a Comptroller and Auditor General report tabled in the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday. Following the recommendation of the GoM report, the liquor policy 2021-22 granted the wholesale licence of both Indian-made foreign liquor and foreign liquor to private entities, who were distributors in place of the creation of a state warehousing corporation, as recommended in the report of the Expert Committee. Following the recommendation of the GoM report, the liquor policy 2021-22 granted the wholesale licence of both Indian-made foreign liquor and foreign liquor to private entities who were distributors in place of the creation of a state warehousing corporation, as recommended in the report of the Expert Committee. Substantial variation between the recommendations of the Expert Committee and GoM altered the very basis of the need for change in the liquor policy, whose implementation resulted in an overall Rs 2,002 crore revenue loss, the audit report said.
