"Kejriwal must face the investigating agencies. He has been running away from questioning. All the action is and will be taken by the law of the land.

The law, and, only the law, will decide if he can run the government from jail," the BJP's Delhi chief added. Taking a swipe at the AAP national convenor over his alleged role in the liquor policy case, Sachdeva said, "By labelling the liquor scam as alleged, he has raised question marks over the ruling of the honourable court that is looking into the case. Everyone is aware of the gravity of the sections under which AAP leaders have been arrested in connection with the case.

The court has refused to entertain their bail please and they continue to remain in jail even a year after being arrested." "The leaders whom Kejriwal is making out to be heroes -- Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh -- were arrested in a hawala case connected to the liquor scam. Sisodia appropriated black money through the Delhi liquor scam. Sanjay Singh reduced the age bar for alcohol consumption and allowed liquor shops to stay open till 3 at night.

Is he a hero?" the BJP's Delhi chief questioned. "They can be heroes for Arvind Kejriwal because he received commissions from the liquor scam through them. He received kickbacks for corrupt deals.
