Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani said the BJP is determined to continue its protest against the new excise policy till it's withdrawn by the Kejriwal government.
Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Friday slammed Kejriwal government's new excise policy, saying it was shocking that liquor vends were opened near schools and religious places in Delhi.
Addressing a virtual rally organised by the Delhi BJP, she also took a dig at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying "the leader, who talked of Swaraj and wrote in his book about picketing liquor shops and shutting them down, was now exploring opportunities to open liquor shops in each ward." No immediate reaction was available from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Irani's attack on excise policy of the Delhi government.
Ms Irani said the BJP is determined to continue its protest against the new excise policy till it's withdrawn by the Kejriwal government.
"The Kejriwal government has given a message to the society that it is ready to go to any length for profit. I want to ask the AAP government who will be answerable for the families that will be destroyed in this quest for profit," she said.
