How new excise policy turned into a political battleground in Delhi

The Hindu  

AAP’s Delhi government and the BJP locked horns ever since private liquor vends, under the Excise Policy 2021-22, opened in the city in November last year. A week after the L-G gave permission to the CBI probe, AAP’s Delhi government decided to end the excise policy and go back to the ‘old regime’ of the retail liquor trade in the city asking the four government corporations which used to run retail liquor vends before November 17, 2021, to resume operations. Promising change The government had rolled out its new excise policy last year with a promise to “enhance the liquor-buying experience”, generate more revenue, and throttle the liquor mafia. Meanwhile, Mr. Sisodia, under the pressure of allegations of graft, held the previous L-G, Anil Baijal, responsible for making “last minute” changes to the new excise policy.
