ED action in excise policy case aimed at stopping CM from campaigning: Atishi

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Delhi Minister Atishi accused the ED on Tuesday of becoming a “political weapon” of the BJP-led Centre. She claimed that the agency’s assertion that BRS leader K Kavitha was involved in paying Rs 100 crore to AAP leaders for favours in the now-scrapped excise policy had been dismissed by the Supreme Court. Addressing a press conference, she alleged that the federal probe agency’s action was aimed at stopping Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal from campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls. In a statement on Monday, the ED claimed that Kavitha, along with others, “conspired with the top leaders of AAP, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, for getting favors in the Delhi excise policy formulation and implementation.” “In exchange for these favors, she was involved in paying Rs 100 crore to the leaders of AAP,” the agency said. Referring to an order issued by Justice Sanjeev Khanna of the Supreme Court on October 30, 2023, Bharadwaj said in this order, the judge clearly stated that the allegation of Rs 100 crore transaction by the ED is somewhat a matter of debate, and no evidence or facts have been presented by the federal agency in the court in this regard.
