'Model of loot in full display': BJP, Congress blast AAP over leaked CAG report
India TodayThe BJP and Congress escalated their attacks on the Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday after a Comptroller and Auditor General report, which was leaked and accessed by India Today, highlighted lapses in the now-scrapped excise policy in Delhi. Addressing a press conference, BJP leader Anurag Thakur said that the CAG report listed 10 major findings about the policy, which was scrapped by the AAP government amid investigations by the ED and CBI. Even BJP president JP Nadda launched a scathing attack on AAP, claiming the CAG report had exposed "intentional lapses", leading to a loss of Rs 2,026 crore to the exchequer. The liquor policy caused financial losses for the Delhi government, money that could have been spent on the welfare of the people," Congress leader and former AAP member Alka Lamba said. Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav wondered whether there was a deal between the AAP and the BJP about not tabling the CAG report in the Assembly on time.
