Is this the end for Kejriwal? Shocking summons in multi-crore liquor scandal!
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s political saga takes a dramatic turn as he’s been summoned for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the infamous liquor scam, probing a serious money laundering angle. Scheduled to appear at the Delhi office of the Central agency on November 2, this high-stakes summons sends shockwaves across the political landscape.
Sensational Developments in AAP’s Political Journey
In an explosive development reminiscent of high-voltage political thrillers, Kejriwal’s summons by the ED comes just months after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) called him for questioning on the same issue. Despite not being named as an accused in the initial FIR filed last August, the AAP leader finds himself in the vortex of a scandal threatening to shake the foundations of his party.

AAP Leader Lashes Out Against Central Government
Adding fuel to the fire, AAP senior leader Saurabh Bhardwaj accuses the Central government of fabricating a “fake case” against Kejriwal with the sole aim of annihilating the Aam Aadmi Party. These allegations, amidst the summons, intensify the political drama, casting a shadow of conspiracy and vendetta politics.
Apex Court’s Decision and BJP’s Demand
The controversy takes another sensational twist as the Supreme Court rejects the bail plea of Kejriwal’s former deputy, Manish Sisodia, prime accused in the case. The alleged money trail of ₹ 338 crore, cited by the judges, further complicates matters for AAP. The subsequent demand for Kejriwal’s resignation by the Delhi BJP chief, citing the court’s order, adds another layer to this unfolding political showdown.
Conspiracy and Corruption Allegations
The CBI’s charge of a “carefully hatched conspiracy” in the liquor policy, purportedly to benefit select companies, and the alleged kickbacks being laundered, paint a picture of deep-rooted corruption. The BJP’s allegations linking the scam’s proceeds to AAP’s campaign funding in Gujarat only increase the stakes, hinting at a wider political and financial web.
This latest development in the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s political narrative, mired in accusations, investigations, and an escalating war of words, not only dominates the news cycle but also promises to keep the public and political analysts on the edge of their seats. With implications extending far beyond Delhi’s borders, this controversy is more than just a local scandal – it’s a spotlight on the intricate and often murky intersections of power, money, and politics in India’s capital.
