AAP govt’s liquor policy causes ₹2,000 crore loss to Delhi govt exchequer: CAG Report

A Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) report has said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s liquor policy in Delhi caused a loss of over 2,000 crore rupees to the government exchequer. The CAG report said that the Delhi government suffered cumulative losses of more than 2,000 crore rupees due to the 2021-2022 excise policy. According to the report, the audit observed several discrepancies in the AAP government’s excise policy to supply liquor in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The report was tabled in the Delhi Assembly yesterday by the Rekha Gupta-led BJP government. The scam related to the now-scrapped excise policy was a key issue in the just-concluded Delhi Assembly elections. The CAG report on the Delhi Excise Policy is one of the 14 pending CAG reports on the previous AAP government’s performance.
