Delhi court discharges Kejriwal and Sisodia in the liquor policy case, citing lack of evidence. The court criticizes CBI's investigation.

Delhi Court Discharges Kejriwal, Sisodia in Liquor Policy Case

A Delhi court discharges Kejriwal and Sisodia in the liquor policy case, citing insufficient evidence and critique of CBI's investigation.

Court Clears Kejriwal in Liquor Case

<p>The court cited lack of cogent evidence and noted lapses and internal contradictions in the investigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a big relief to Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, a Delhi court on Friday discharged the former Delhi chief minister and his ex-deputy in the politically charged liquor policy case, as it refused to take cognisance of the CBI chargesheet. Besides the two leaders, 21 more were discharged in the case.</p>
<p>The CBI has been probing alleged corruption in the formulation and execution of the erstwhile-AAP government's now-scrapped excise policy.</p>
<p>Special Judge Jitendra Singh rapped the federal agency for lapses in investigation, saying there was no cogent evidence against Kejriwal, while there was no prima facie case against Sisodia. He underlined "some misleading averments" and said that the voluminous chargesheet had several lacunas not corroborated by evidence or witnesses.</p>
<p>"...The chargesheet suffers from internal contradictions, striking at the root of conspiracy theory," Judge Singh said.</p>
<p>He said that in the absence of any evidence, the allegations against Kejriwal could not be sustained and that the former chief minister was implicated without any cogent evidence. This, the judge said, was inconsistent with the rule of law.</p>
<p>Regarding Sisodia, the judge said there was no material on record showing his involvement, nor was any recovery made from him.</p>
<p>A detailed order is awaited.</p>

Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia has called Delhi’s overage vehicle ban an assault on the middle class, slamming the BJP government for removing 61 lakh vehicles despite low usage.

'Assault on middle class': AAP's Sisodia slams BJP over fuel ban on overage vehicles

<p>Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia has called Delhi&rsquo;s overage vehicle ban an assault on the middle class, slamming the BJP government for removing 61 lakh vehicles despite low usage.</p>

<p>Senior AAP leader and former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday accused the BJP-led Delhi government of waging another "assault on the middle class" through its recent order banning refuelling of overage vehicles in the capital.</p>
<p>Sisodia's statement comes amid the BJP government defending the move and calling it a necessary step in its ongoing pollution control efforts.</p>
<p>"The BJP government has issued a tyrannical order to remove 61 lakh vehicles from Delhi's roads. This is not governance; this is 'Phulera ki Panchayat'. Families who've maintained their vehicles with care are now being punished. Even those vehicles that have travelled less than 10,000 km are being deemed unfit," Sisodia said in a press conference.</p>
<p>Effective July 1, petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years were prohibited from refuelling in Delhi. The order was part of an intensified crackdown on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and is backed by automated surveillance.</p>
<p>Penalties include fines of Rs 10,000 for four-wheelers and Rs 5,000 for two-wheelers, along with possible impounding and towing charges.</p>
<p>Sisodia questioned the motives behind the policy, asking, "Who benefits from this? Vehicle manufacturers, scrap dealers, and number plate companies. Is it a coincidence that this order came just before taxi fares were allowed to increase?"&nbsp;</p>
<p>He also accused the BJP of hypocrisy, saying, "They defied a Supreme Court Constitutional Bench order with an overnight ordinance. Now they say they can't help 61 lakh Delhi families?"</p>

The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections mark a historic shift as BJP secures 48 seats, ending AAP’s dominance. Arvind Kejriwal and top AAP leaders suffer defeats, while Congress fails to win a single seat again.

Delhi Assembly Election Results: Who are the giant winners and biggest losers?

<p>The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections mark a historic shift as BJP secures 48 seats, ending AAP&rsquo;s dominance. Arvind Kejriwal and top AAP leaders suffer defeats, while Congress fails to win a single seat again.</p>

<p>The 2025 Delhi Assembly elections have delivered a historic verdict, bringing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) back to power in the national capital after 27 years.</p>
<p>With the final vote count completed, the BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) managed only 22&mdash;marking a significant decline from its 2020 tally of 62.</p>
<p>The Congress, continuing its downward spiral, failed to win a single seat for the third consecutive election.</p>
<h3><strong>A Resounding Victory for BJP</strong></h3>
<p>The BJP&rsquo;s triumph marks a major political shift in Delhi, where AAP had dominated for over a decade. The party&rsquo;s return to power is being seen as an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s leadership and a rejection of AAP&rsquo;s governance.</p>

<p><strong>Manish Sisodia (Jangpura)</strong></p>
<p>Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia lost to BJP&rsquo;s Tarvinder Singh Marwah by 675 votes in Jangpura. Sisodia&rsquo;s defeat underscores the collapse of AAP&rsquo;s stronghold in Delhi, where he had previously been a key figure in the party&rsquo;s governance.</p>

<p><strong>Saurabh Bharadwaj (Greater Kailash)</strong></p>
<p>BJP&rsquo;s Shikha Roy emerged victorious in Greater Kailash, defeating AAP&rsquo;s Saurabh Bharadwaj by 3,188 votes. This outcome highlights BJP&rsquo;s inroads into constituencies that were once considered AAP bastions.</p>
<p><strong>Satyendar Jain (Shakur Basti)</strong></p>
<p>BJP&rsquo;s Karnail Singh won the Shakur Basti constituency by a massive 21,000-vote margin, defeating former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain. This marks a dramatic fall from Jain&rsquo;s previous victories in 2015 and 2020, where he had won comfortably.</p>

<p>BJP&rsquo;s Tarvinder Singh Marwah defeated AAP&rsquo;s Manish Sisodia in Jangpura, marking one of the biggest upsets of the election. His victory reflects the voter shift away from AAP&rsquo;s leadership.</p>
<h3><strong>Congress&rsquo; Irrelevance Continues</strong></h3>
<p>Once a dominant force in Delhi politics, the Congress party suffered its third consecutive zero-seat result. Its failure to win a single seat since 2015 highlights its diminishing role in the capital&rsquo;s political landscape.</p>
<p>Prominent Congress leaders, including Alka Lamba, performed poorly, securing less than 5,000 votes in key constituencies.</p>
<h3><strong>What This Means for Delhi?</strong></h3>

Delhi Elections 2025: BJP returns to power after 27 years, AAP faces crushing defeat

<p>BJP secures a historic victory in Delhi after 27 years, defeating AAP as key leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, lose their seats. PM Modi hails the win as a triumph of good governance, while Congress fails to secure any seat once again.</p>

<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic victory in the Delhi Assembly elections on Saturday, reclaiming power in the national capital after 27 years.</p>
<p>The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) faced a major defeat, with several key leaders, including former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, losing in their strongholds.</p>
<p>This win further strengthens the BJP&rsquo;s hold on national politics, following its recent electoral successes in Maharashtra and Haryana.</p>
<p>The Congress, which had hoped for a revival in Delhi, failed to secure a single seat once again, marking its third consecutive zero tally in the assembly elections. The party had previously ruled Delhi for 15 years, from 1998 to 2013.</p>
<p>BJP won 48 out of 70 seats, while AAP secured 22 seats.</p>

Manish Sisodia and Harish Khurana filed nominations ahead of Delhi elections. As the political dynamics intensify, voting will take place on February 5, with the deadline to withdraw nominations by January 20.

<p>Manish Sisodia filed his nomination for Jangpura, seeking blessings at Kalka temple. BJP's Harish Khurana also filed for Moti Nagar after a havan. Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 5, with results on February 8.</p>

<p>Manish Sisodia, former Deputy CM of Delhi and AAP leader, filed his nomination papers on Thursday for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, aiming to represent Jangpura constituency. He visited the Kalka temple, seeking blessings and praying for guidance in his role if elected. He shared on social media: "Today, I filed my nomination from Jangpura, seeking love and blessings from the community and divine guidance."</p>
<p>BJP's Moti Nagar candidate Harish Khurana also filed his nomination, following a havan ceremony at his residence. He will contest against AAP's Shiv Charan Goel and Congress's Rajendra Namdhari.</p>

AAP Reshuffles Candidates Ahead of Crucial Delhi Elections

<p>AAP reshuffled candidates for Delhi elections, with Manish Sisodia moving to Jangpura. This shift, aimed at addressing anti-incumbency, introduces new faces like Avadh Ojha and reflects strategic repositioning for the upcoming polls.</p>

<p>Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will contest the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections from Jangpura, while civil services teacher Avadh Ojha has been fielded from Patparganj, replacing Sisodia. AAP announced its second list of 20 candidates for the polls scheduled early next year, following the release of 11 names last month.</p>
<p>Jangpura, an AAP stronghold since 2013, has been reassigned to Sisodia, who previously represented Patparganj. Sisodia, currently out on bail in a money laundering case linked to the now-defunct liquor policy, expressed gratitude to AAP leadership and pledged to replicate his education and development work in Jangpura. Patparganj has been handed over to Ojha, with Sisodia describing the constituency as the "heart of Delhi&rsquo;s education revolution."</p>
<p>The list reflects AAP&rsquo;s strategy of not repeating any sitting MLAs for these 20 seats, a move aimed at combating anti-incumbency. Meanwhile, BJP criticized the changes, suggesting AAP members are hesitant to contest due to public dissatisfaction. Notably, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and MLA Atishi&rsquo;s names are yet to appear in AAP&rsquo;s candidate lists.</p>

Sisodia moved the high court challenging a trial court's April 30 order that had dismissed his bail pleas in the two cases.

<p>The special judge had denied the relief, saying the stage is not right to grant bail to Sisodia.&nbsp;</p>

Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation on February 26 last year, for his alleged role in the so-called scam.

<p>"In the last eight years, due to this budget, the quality of textbooks and uniforms has seen a huge change. In the last three years, many students have moved from private schools to government schools," she said.</p>
<p>Currently, the minister said, 20 schools of specialised excellence (SOSE) are affiliated with the DBSE and in the coming year, 50 city government-run schools will also be affiliated with the board.</p>
<p>"We will also welcome private schools on board," she added.</p>
