After his questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Delhi excise scam case, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday claimed that he was pressured to leave Aam Aadmi Party and was offered Delhi CM’s post.
Sisodia was quizzed by the CBI for over nine hours in connection with the case.
“The BJP says there is a Rs 10,00 crore excise scam. I found at CBI office that there is no scam and the case is fake. The fake case against me is a conspiracy to make BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ a success in Delhi,” Sisodia told reporters after the questioning.
He alleged that he was pressurised to quit AAP.
Today I saw in the CBI office that there’s no issue of any scam (excise policy case). The whole case is fake. I understood all that in the 9hr-questioning today. The case isn’t to probe any scam against me,but to make Operation Lotus successful in Delhi, Dy CM Manish Sisodia told ANI
CBI will evaluate the answers given by (Delhi Dy CM) Manish Sisodia and if needed, he will be summoned again later. No summons to Sisodia for tomorrow, Agency official told ANI
