New Delhi : Anna Hazare, who was once the mentor of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, has raised questions on the liquor policy of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. Arvind Kejriwal, who ran an anti-corruption movement with Anna a decade ago, is now seen by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) behind his advice. The AAP convener, reacting for the first time on Anna's letter, said that BJP is firing a gun on Anna's shoulder.Arvind Kejriwal has said that the public is not accepting the words of BJP, so it is taking the help of Anna Hazare. Arvind Kejriwal told the media, "They (BJP) have been saying that there is a scam in the liquor policy, but the CBI has said that there is no scam. People are not listening to them, so now they are running with a gun on Anna Hazare's shoulder.Arvind Kejriwal also said that the CBI has informally given a clean chit to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. Kejriwal said, "We should always be ready for any investigation. CBI has completed all its investigation. Questioned Manish Sisodia for 14 hours. He gave satisfactory answers to their questions. Nothing was found in his locker. He has been given an unofficial clean chit.Kejriwal said that nothing came out of the CBI investigation, there should be no politics on it. Now it should be investigated that how they (BJP) wanted to buy MLAs in Delhi by paying 20-20 crores. If we don't run away from it then why are they doing this.Anna Hazare reminds old thingsSocial activist Anna Hazare has written a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condemning his government's new excise policy and has written that the Chief Minister is 'intoxicated with power'. Hazare has also said that the party born after causing damage to a historic movement is now on the path of other parties, which is painful. Hazare said that the new policy will encourage the sale and consumption of liquor and corruption will also increase. Citing a complete liquor ban in his village Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district, Hazare reminded his former colleague Kejriwal about his book 'Swaraj' which advocates a ban on alcohol.
