"Did Right Thing": Atishi Defends AAP's Excise Policy After CAG Reports | Read

After the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Delhi's excise policy was presented in the Delhi Assembly on Monday, Delhi's Leader of Opposition and AAP leader Atishi defended the previous Arvind Kejriwal-led government, stating that the report pointed out the flaws in the old excise policy, which the AAP government had previously exposed and came up with a new excise policy.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Atishi said, "The excise audit report was presented in the Delhi Assembly today. Its seven chapters are on the excise policy from 2017-21, and one chapter is on the new excise policy. The Delhi government had exposed the flaws and corruption of the old excise policy to the people of Delhi.

Atishi further alleged that under the previous policy, liquor was being illegally sourced from neighbouring states, causing financial losses to Delhi.
