The BJP on Thursday hit out at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for skipping the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons in connection with the liquor policy scam case.

Addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra asked why is the Chief Minister evading the ED probe if he is innocent.

Terming Kejriwal corrupt and shameless, Patra said, Why is he running away from agencies who are probing the case if he is innocent? ED doesn’t send random summons. It only sends summons based on facts, Patra said.

We trust that ED has only summoned him based on facts. This is a serious issue. AAP and Kejriwal have no trust in the ED, the Government, the CBI, the ECI, and the people of this country, but at least they can respect the Supreme Court, he added.

Referring to the Supreme Court judgment in Manish Sisodia’s bail plea case, the BJP leader said that the top court has made a statement that around Rs 338 crore trail has been tentatively established in Sisodia’s bail plea.

If the tip of the iceberg is so big, then how big the actual scam will be, Patra stated.

I am surprised that this is the same Kejriwal who used to raise his voice against Sheila Dixit, Robert Vadhra, Sonia Gandhi, Lalu Prasad in press conferences when he was not part of a political party. Now he is making alliances with the same people. he said.

Are you God that no agency can summon you? Patra asked Kejriwal. If Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh are not corrupt then why did they not get bail from the court? he wondered.
