Arvind Kejriwal News / Kejriwal's troubles increase before elections, ED will file case in this matter

Arvind Kejriwal News: Ahead of the assembly elections in Delhi in February next year, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has landed in a new trouble. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has given approval to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file a case against Kejriwal in the excise policy case. The decision is based on the recommendation given by the ED on December 5.

Background of the case

The Enforcement Directorate alleges that Delhi's excise policy was tampered with, allegedly giving private companies the rights to wholesale liquor distribution with a 12% margin in exchange for a 6% bribe. It was also claimed that this money was used to influence the results of the Punjab and Goa elections in 2022.

Petition of Kejriwal and Sisodia

In this case, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, challenging the decision of the trial court to take cognizance of the chargesheet. The Delhi High Court has given additional time to the Enforcement Directorate to file a reply on this petition.

Political background and impact

This case has come at a time when the political atmosphere in Delhi is heated. This decision taken a few months before the upcoming assembly elections is considered a big setback for the Aam Aadmi Party. Opposition parties may become aggressive on this issue, which may affect the election strategy.

Further process

After the case is registered against Kejriwal, it remains to be seen what will be the next step of the court. This case can prove to be a turning point in Delhi politics, where political discussions will intensify amid the action of ED and court.

Amidst this controversy, Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party have described the allegations leveled against them as politically motivated. Now it remains to be seen in which direction the judicial process and electoral politics take this matter.
