TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday claimed that the 2024 general elections will see a direct contest between the BJP and AAP. The election will be held between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, Sisodia claimed addressing mediapersons.
After the Punjab assembly election, Kejriwal has emerged as an alternative at national level and that is their (BJP’s) main concern, Sisodia said. He said irregularities in the Excise policy or any scam in not an issue for them, but their main concern is the rising stature of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Sisodia’s remark came a day after the CBI raided his residence and other locations in connection with irregularities in connection with New Excise Policy. A conspiracy is being hatched through this raid by the probe agency to stop Arvind Kejriwal, he alleged.
“I am not involved in any corruption. My only mistake is that I am the education minister of the Arvind Kejriwal government”, said Sisodia. “It may be that the CBI can arrest me in the next 3-4 days. But we won’t be scared. They cannot stop us. The elections of 2024 will be AAP vs BJP,” Sisodia said.
