Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers staged a protest near the AAP headquarters on DDU Marg in New Delhi on Wednesday, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the alleged excise scam. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Legislative Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhur, Kapil Mishra and Shazia Ilmi were present at the protest site.

Meanwhile, Delhi social welfare minister Raaj Kumar Anand on Wednesday resigned from his post as minister and also from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Anand is an MLA from the Patel Nagar assembly constituency.
“Aam Aadmi Party was born to fight corruption but today the party is stuck in a swamp of corruption. It has become difficult for me to work on the minister’s post. I resigned from the post of minister and from the party as I can’t connect name with this corruption,” he said.
“Arvind Kejriwal once said at Ramlila Maidan, Jantar Mantar ‘the country will change if the politics changes’. Today the politics didn’t change but the politician changed,” Raaj Kumar Anand said.
Raaj Kumar’s residence was raided in November 2023 in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate not connected to the liquor probe. Hours before his resignation, Raaj Kumar Anand on social media shared AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s press conference.
