After a Delhi court discharged former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and 22 others accused in the liquor policy case, the Congress on Friday said that the proceedings against the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “convenient allies” will “quietly fizzle out” ahead of elections in Gujarat and Punjab.

Assembly elections in both the states are expected to be held in 2027.

Congress leader Pawan Khera claimed that it was a “predictable script” of the “shape-shifting serpent” BJP.

The Opposition leader added: “It has only one obsessive goal, to defeat the Congress and create a Congress-free India.”

He also accused the ruling party of “turning vendetta into governance and using investigative agencies like electoral tools”.

Earlier in the day, a Delhi court discharged of corruption charges 23 persons accused by the Central Investigation Bureau in the liquor policy case, including Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia.

The Rouse Avenue Courts held that there was no overarching conspiracy or criminal intent in the excise policy. The court also criticised the CBI for implicating Kejriwal and Sisodia without any cogent material.
