Will Arrest of Sisodia Impact National Political Aspirations of AAP? #WorldNEWSAll
It is not clear how the investigation will proceed further and what would be its final outcome but what is sure is that arrest of Sisodia will galvanise regional forces to come together.
Eight opposition leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to Manish Sisodias arrest, warning that it will be used as an example of a political witch hunt and further demonstrate what the rest of the world already believed: that Indias democratic values are in danger under an authoritarian BJP.
The letter has the signatures of nine politicians, including seven from outside the AAP, but Congress is not one of them. The letter has the signatures of the Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Farooq Abdullah, the National Conference president, Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab chief minister, Tejashwi Yadav, and former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.
“We hope you would agree that India is still a democratic country. The blatant misuse of central agencies against the members of the opposition appears to suggest that we have transitioned from being a democracy to an autocracy, the letter said.
On February 26th, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, in relation to the Liquor Tax Policy case. The CBI had searched Sisodias home in August 2022 after identifying him in the FIR that alleged wrongdoing in the creation of Delhis liquor policy.

Sisodia stated earlier this week that the Aam Aadmi Partys expansion was demonstrated by the Union home ministrys approval for the CBI to pursue him in a purported snooping case. Sisodia claimed in October of last year that the CBI had pressured him into joining the BJP if he wanted to escape going to jail. These accusations had been refuted by the CBI.
The deputy chief minister gave evasive replies and did not co-operate with the investigation despite being confronted with evidence to the contrary. Therefore, he has been arrested. The arrested accused will be produced before the designated court in Delhi, the agency had said in a statement.
The case was registered against the Deputy Chief Minister and in-charge Excise Minister and 14 others for an investigation into the matter of alleged irregularities in framing and implementation of the excise policy for the year 2021-22 and extending post tender benefits to private persons. A chargesheet was filed on December 25, 2022 against the then CEO of a Mumbai-based private company and six others, the agency said in a statement.

Meanwhile AAP has charged the BJP with conducting a witch hunt against its leaders after the CBI detained Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi liquor scam case.
