00:00In Delhi, the new government of BJP, the Amadmi Party and their 10-year rule are not in the mood to forgive.
00:13The BJP government, led by Rekha Gupta, used the CAG report for the first time today.
00:21This CAG report was about the liquor scam that took place during the time of Kejriwal government.
00:25According to the report, the Delhi government has incurred a loss of more than Rs 2000 crores due to the law of 2021-22.
00:34The former Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and the Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sodhia, have spent months in Tihar jail for the same scam.
00:44This report shows how Delhi was slapped with Rs 2,002 crores due to the new liquor policy.
00:52In the report, it was also said that the government lost a lot of money due to wrong decisions.
00:58The loss of Rs 941.53 crores was due to not opening liquor shops in non-conforming areas.
01:04The loss of Rs 890 crores was due to not re-tendering the license left there.
01:09The loss of Rs 144 crores was due to not giving the license in the name of COVID-19.
01:13The loss of Rs 27 crores was due to not collecting the security deposit properly.
01:19According to the report, the Delhi Aapkari Neeti 2010 was not implemented properly.
01:25The people who were interested in manufacturing and retail were given a wholesale license.
01:30This benefited the entire liquor supply chain and also created pressure.
01:36The wholesale margin was increased from 5% to 12%.
01:40The government said that labs will be built in the warehouse for the quality check, but no labs were built.
01:47This increased the profit of the wholesalers and the government suffered a lot of loss in revenue.
01:52Screening was also not done.
01:53The upfront cost was ignored.
01:55Rs 100 crores was required to run the liquor zone, but the government did not do any financial check.
02:01And the income of many bidders in the last three years was very low or almost zero.
02:07Along with this, the chances of proxy ownership and political favoritism also increased.
02:12The Samadhi Party government ignored the advice of its own expert committee and made arbitrary changes to the policy.
02:18Earlier, one person was allowed to keep only two shops, but it was increased to 54 in the new policy.
02:25Earlier, the government had 377 shops, but 849 liquor vendors were made in the new policy, of which only 22 private players got the license.
02:33Monopoly and categorization were also increased.
02:36Manufacturers were forced to tie up with only one wholesale.
02:41Out of 360 registered IMFL brands, only 25 brands covered 70% of the total liquor sales.
02:49Only three wholesalers, Indosprit, Mahadev Liquors and Brindco, controlled 71% of the supply.
02:55This manipulated the price of liquor and customers had fewer options.
