Arvind Kejriwal Compares Manish Sisodia With Bhagat Singh, Congress Livid

"It is very shameful that AAP ministers are being accused of corruption relating to the liquor policy. Those accused of corruption are being compared to Bhagat Singh, who inspires every Indian. It is very unfortunate and sad," Congress's Sandeep Dikshit said.

The Congress hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today for comparing those accused of corruption in connection with the liquor policy for the national capital to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, saying it was unfortunate and a "cheap political act".

Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said this after Arvind Kejriwal compared his deputy Manish Sisodia to Bhagat Singh, after the CBI questioned the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor scam.

Mr Dikshit also said Manish Sisodia should give evidence in support of the allegation raised by him that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attempted to poach AAP MLAs under "Operation Lotus" and asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to bring out the video-recordings once the investigation is concluded.

"It is very shameful that AAP ministers are being accused of corruption relating to the liquor policy. Those accused of corruption are being compared to Bhagat Singh, who inspires every Indian. It is very unfortunate and sad. Rarely has there been a cheap political act than this. We strongly condemn this," Sandeep Dikshit told reporters.
