New Delhi, 13 November 2022: After Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari and jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, BJP has renewed its attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the Delhi excise policy problem and demanded that he take a lie detector test to demonstrate his “honesty”.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala attacked Kejriwal during a press conference by bringing up the alleged scams and claiming that the national capital had been filming the Lootera movie for the past eight years.

The party also shared a poster on Twitter that portrayed Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as “Lootera,” a character from the 2013 Ranveer Singh film “Lootera.”

This came after Kejriwal suggested that Chandrashekhar be made the national head of the BJP because he spoke the same language as the group.

He claimed that Kejriwal had a golden chance to disprove Chandrashekhar’s allegations by taking a lie detector test alongside his ministers Satyendar Jain and Kailash Gahlot during a live television broadcast.

Earlier, in letters to the L-G, Chandrashekhar had accused several AAP leaders of extortion and stated that he was willing to take a lie detector test alongside Kejriwal and his ministers.

Poonawala claimed that Kejriwal could take a lie detector test to demonstrate his sincerity, but he would not.

He could have asked the court to throw out the FIR in the “alcohol fraud,” but he chose not to, he claimed.

He also claimed that the actor Manish Sisodia, who is a defendant in the liquor scam case, was in the Kejriwal-directed movie Lootera, and that the excise policy 2021–22, which the Kejriwal administration later abandoned, cost the state exchequer Rs 1800 crore.

“The AAP has never cared to answer the BJP’s questions on corruption in the policy that during its 7.5-month operation caused the government to lose Rs 1800 crore,” he claimed.
