BJP MP urges Delhi's new CM Atishi to Investigate Liquor Policy and Address Infrastructure

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari urged new Delhi Chief Minister Atishi to investigate the city's liquor policy and address the reported revenue loss. In his letter, he also highlighted issues like school infrastructure, electricity and water bills, and broken roads. Tiwari criticized former CM Arvind Kejriwal's governance and advised Atishi to act without hesitation.

Bharatiya Janata Party MP Manoj Tiwari has urged Delhi's new Chief Minister Atishi to order an inquiry into the city's liquor policy and to investigate the government's alleged revenue loss.

In an official letter, Tiwari presented a list of requests, asking for a detailed explanation about why the liquor policy was retracted and the financial implications. He also raised concerns about the exorbitant costs for semi-permanent school structures and stressed the need for immediate repairs of broken roads under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Tiwari further criticized former CM Arvind Kejriwal, attributing much of Delhi's current issues to his administration. He congratulated Atishi while urging her to act decisively without worrying about protecting Kejriwal's legacy, assuring her of BJP's support for Delhi's development.

Responding to Tiwari's comments, AAP leader Gopal Rai stated that the government aims to continue the initiatives begun under Kejriwal, focusing on issues like air pollution control and providing better services despite challenging conditions. Atishi, at 43, becomes Delhi's third female Chief Minister, with other AAP leaders also sworn in as her ministers.
