Manish Sisodia the mastermind behind the liquor scam was arrested by the CBI. The arrest of Manish Sisodia the Deputy CM of Delhi poses an unprecedented challenge to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his party.
Not only has Sisodia been the face of Delhi government’s education policy, he is also considered the pivot of AAP’s political expansion plans.
Depending on how long Sisodia remains in custody, the party will first have the tall task of distributing his work. While it has several prominent leaders, none is as recognisable among the public or as trusted by Kejriwal.
Asked at the Idea Exchange about his relationship with Kejriwal, Sisodia had said in December 2021: “We’ve been friends before the formation of the party. As a party member and minister, I feel proud that I enjoy his confidence.
If your boss trusts you, you enjoy the work… We were together when we were activists. Today, I have respect for him as a CM. But we still eat together and our families spend time with each other.
Now AAP describes Monday as the black day as the deputy CM was arrested. CBI claims that Sisodia played the key role in drafting the liquor policy.But CM Kejriwal says there is no evidence against Sisodia.
CBI said Sisodia was arrested after showing all the evidence.
