NEW DELHI: Information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur once again hit out at chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that the latter talked about education, but promoted liquor sale and committed large-scale corruption. “Education may feature prominently in the words of the Aam Aadmi Party, but it is liquor that drives their work,” Thakur said as the BJP continued its attack on Kejriwal and his deputy, Manish Sisodia, over the alleged excise scam. He said the AAP government in Delhi did not make “pathshala” (schools) but opened many “madhushala” (liquor vends) and questioned the “silence” of Kejriwal and Sisodia to the queries raised by him over the “scam”, now being probed by CBI. “The liquor scam has unmasked AAP and showed how it is neck-deep in corruption. Why are its leaders not answering the questions raised by us over its excise policy?” Thakur asked. “If the excise policy was correct, then why was it withdrawn? The truth is that serious corruption has occurred. Their health minister is in jail on corruption charges and the ‘liquor minister’ is under probe. What kind of impact such a minister will have on education,” Thakur asked. “If a minister is busy expanding liquor stores, then can he be expected to focus on education?” Thakur asked.
