NDA mentioned in its manifesto that corrupt people won't be spared: UP minister on arrest of AAP's Sanjay Singh
Oct 06, 2023
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 6 : Days after the Enforcement Directorate arrested AAP MP Sanjay Singh for his alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor policy scam, Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Nishad on Friday said that it was in the manifesto of Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA that the corrupt will not be spared.
"It was in the manifesto of our National Democratic Alliance that the corrupt will not be spared and action will be taken against them," Nishad told ANI.
The Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday sent Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh to remand till October 10, 2023, in connection with the now scrapped Delhi excise policy or liquor scam case.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday arrested Sanjay Singh after a day-long questioning by the ED officials at his Delhi residence.
The Special Judge MK Nagpal after noting the lengthy submissions made by ED and Defense, decided to send Sanjay Singh to 5 days ED remand.
The arrest of Sanjay Singh is the second high-profile arrest in the case after former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
The federal agency on Wednesday morning raided the residence of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in connection with the now-canceled liquor excise policy in the national capital. The development followed closely on the heels of the ED's raid on the premises belonging to two of Sanjay Singh's close aides in the same context.
The agency claims that Singh and his partners played a part in the Delhi government's decision to give licenses to alcohol shops and merchants in 2020, causing losses to the state exchequer and violating anti-corruption laws.
