'Mastermind of liquor scam is finally in custody of law':Smriti Irani hits back at Kejriwal

Union Minister and senior BJP leader Smriti Irani on Friday hit back at AAP after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) got the remand of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for 6 days, saying Delhi ruling party used excise policy to fund elections.

Irani held a press conference moments after the Rouse Avenue court in Delhi sent Kejriwal, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night from his residence, to ED custody till 28 March.

"The mastermind of the liquor scam



is finally in the custody of the law. Today, we got an account of how a person who sits on a constitutional post and cites honesty, defines corruption by misusing administrative machinery through the deeds of Arvind Kejriwal. In the court today, some bank transactions were prominently mentioned. One transaction was such, as per which, Sameer Mahendru (an accused in excise policy-linked money laundering case) transferred Rs 1 crore to Radha Industries. Secondly, Sameer Mahendru gave Rs 2-4 crore to Vijay Nair," said the Union Minister.
