After the order of the CBI inquiry by the Lieutenant Governor, the Delhi government, which is facing all the allegations, has taken a big decision. On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told that the old excise policy will be implemented in Delhi from Monday. It will remain in force for six months.
The Delhi government has come on the back foot after recommending a CBI inquiry into the allegations of alleged corruption in the new excise policy. Manish Sisodia said that the new excise policy will be back. Till the new policy is prepared, the sale of liquor will be done under the old policy.
Announcing this, Sisodia said that we had implemented a new excise policy to check corruption. Earlier, the government used to get revenue of Rs 6000 crore from 850 liquor shops. But after the implementation of the new excise policy, our government would have got more than Rs 9000 crore revenue from the same number of shops.
