Because BJP was also agitating against Delhi's new liquor policy for a long time, because corruption has happened on a large scale in it. The Kejriwal government has done the work of giving 10 per cent benefit directly to the liquor mafia.” Earlier in the day, the Delhi Chief minister - in an apparent dare to the BJP - had said: "I have been saying that they will arrest Manish Sisodia.
