'Pressure put on me to quit AAP, offered Delhi CM's post': Sisodia, quizzed in excise case, makes big claim

I was asked inside the CBI office to leave (AAP), or else such cases will keep getting registered against me, Sisodia claimed as he was leaving CBI headquarters after over 9 hours of questioning.


Delhi Liquor Policy case: Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday claimed that during his questioning by the CBI, he was asked to leave the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or else such cases will keep getting registered against him.

Speaking to the media, Sisodia said he was told during the questioning "Satyendar Kumar ke upar konse sache cases hai..."

"I was asked inside the CBI office to leave (AAP), or else such cases will keep getting registered against me. I was told 'Satyendar Jain ke upar konse sachhe cases hain?'... I said I won't leave AAP for BJP. They said they'll make me CM," Sisodia alleged after leaving CBI headquarters after over 9 hours of questioning.


"BJP says there is a Rs 10,000 crore excise scam, I found there was no scam and case is fake," Manish Sisodia said.

 

"Pressure was put on me to quit AAP. I was offered Delhi CM's post or face jail term," he said.

 

Sisodia had arrived at the agency's headquarters around 11.15 am and was taken straight to the first floor of the anti-corruption branch, they said.

 

The deputy chief minister was grilled for over nine hours on various aspects of the Delhi government's excise policy, his relations with other accused, including businessman Vijay Nair, and documents recovered during searches in the case, the officials said.

 

The CBI has also questioned Raghava Reddy, the son of YSRCP Lok Sabha MP Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy, in the case, they said.

 

Hitting out at Sisodia, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Have you ever seen any corrupt person come out post-interrogation & accept that he was corrupt & apologize for it? This is 'Operation Non-Cooperation'. We don't know what the questions were, but as per common sense, he would've been asked why he took back excise policy."

Team India handed Pakistan their biggest defeat in the IND-PAK fixtures as the Men in Blue opened their account with a 228-run win in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours. Finally after several rain delays and frustrating two days of start-stop cricket, Team India scripted their biggest-ever win against Pakistan in ODI history surpassing their 140-run win in 2008, to open their account in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours on Monday, September 11 in Colombo. It was a combined team effort as the batters propelled the side to their joint-best score in ODIs against Pakistan while  Kuldeep Yadav 's five-wicket haul was the icing on the cake as Pakistan were skittled out for just 128 with two of their players not batting. Virat Kohli  and  KL Rahul  started watchfully from India's overnight score of 147 following quickfire fifties from skipper  Rohit Sharma  and  Shubman Gill  on Day 1. Kohli kept ticking the scorecard with singles and doubles and got boundaries at regular intervals. Rahul was
