Delhi Assembly Refers CAG Report on Liquor Policy to Public Accounts Committee

The report highlights irregularities in the AAP-led excise policy, with BJP alleging corruption and a ₹2,026 crore revenue loss.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Delhi's excise policy has been referred to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for a detailed investigation.
The report flagged significant lapses, including violations in licensing, lack of transparency in pricing, and inadequate regulatory oversight, leading to a ₹2,026 crore revenue loss.
BJP MLAs accused the former AAP government of corruption and prioritizing liquor sales over governance, while AAP dismissed the allegations as implementation failures.
The PAC is expected to submit its findings within three months, with the excise department directed to provide an action-taken report within a month.
Suspended AAP MLAs protested outside the Assembly, claiming undemocratic actions by the BJP-led government and sought intervention from the President.
