Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP on Monday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP’s) new excise policy claiming the policy is against the youth and promotes crime.
State BJP President Adesh Gupta said that, Excise Minister Manish Sisodia reduced the drinking age from 25 years to 21 years and has allowed to open liquor shops till late night,, will prove to be fatal for people of the civil society.
Gupta also said that, due to the excise policy of the Kejriwal government, not only will incidents of violence and accidents relating to road rage increase, the tendency of people to drink alcohol will increase, which can lead many families to the brink of destruction.
He said that, the Delhi government could not provide clean water to the people, could not improve the standard of education in schools, could not open new schools-colleges and hospitals, but has engaged itself in making people drink liquor and opening new liquor shops. With this their intention is clear as to in which direction they want to take the people of Delhi.
Gupta said that, the Kejriwal government should immediately change the new anti-social excise policy and not reduce the drinking age. If the government does not change this anti-people policy, then the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party will be forced to come on roads and protest against the said policy.
