"Kejriwal is repeatedly saying in the media that the liquor scam case is false but till date he has not told why the new liquor policy was withdrawn if there was no scam in it as soon as an inquiry was announced," Sachdeva said.

The Kejriwal government withdrew the Excise Policy 2021-22 last year after Lt Governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in its implementation.

In March, Sisodia -- the then deputy chief minister and the excise department in-charge -- was arrested by the ED in this connection.

Delhi BJP General Secretary Kamaljit Sehrawat, Mahila Morcha In-charge Lata Gupta, Co-in-charge Shyam Bala, general secretaries Priyal Bhardwaj, Sarita Tomar and Vaishali Poddar, Mahila Morcha office-bearers and women councillors also took part in the demonstrations.
