Please to remember.

"The Supreme Court on Monday (yesterday) rejected former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia's bail plea in the Delhi excise scam matter, and directed the trial in the cases probed against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) be completed within the next eight months. HT. Eight months will take us to June 2024, by which time the general election, which must be held by May 2024, (wikipedia) will be over. The Delhi government is formed by AAP, and Kejriwal is the Chief Minister. In 2020, "In almost a clean sweep, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) created history second time in a row with victory on 62 seats in Delhi assembly elections. The magnitude of AAP's sweep kept the BJP to single digits." Last year, "The AAP...claimed an emphatic win over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2022 MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) election." HT.  Also in 2022, the AAP "scored a landslide win in Punjab with leads in 92 seats in the 117-seat assembly." NDTV. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party the BJP won an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha with 303 out of 543 seats in the general election in 2019. wikipedia. The BJP won all 7 seats in Delhi with the AAP winning the 3 seats in the National Capital Territory (NCR). delhi.gov.in. Why is Sisodia in prison? Because the AAP government in Delhi instituted a new excise policy which reduced the cost of alcohol in Delhi and nicely decorated private shops treated customers with respect. Prices of drinks dropped by 30-40%. TOI. Lieutenant Governor (sounds very British) VK Saxena, appointed by the BJP Central government, asked the CBI to look into lower excise duty due to "deliberate and gross procedural lapses", which apparently amounted to a scam. ET. How it can be a scam if lower excise duties were being passed on to customers is a mystery. We are back to the old system, with very high prices, dirty shops and surly attendants barking at customers and serving them with disdain.  Representing the BJP Central government, "Attorney General R Venkataramani expressed his perspective to the Supreme Court...regarding the challenges to the 'opaque' electoral bond system for finding political parties. He emphasized the Constitution does not grant citizens a fundamental right to know the funding sources, urging the Court not to venture into policy matters related to regulating electoral bonds." ET. Not surprising as, "More than 52% of the BJP's political donations, worth Rs 5,271.97 crore (Rs 52.7197 billion), came from electoral bonds as against Rs 1,783.93 crore (Rs 17.8393 billion) amassed by all other national political parties, according to a new report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR)." The Wire. Perhaps, the Supreme Court will consider that "We the People" have a fundamental right to know the probity of the people we elect to represent us. And, Mr Venkataramani should remember that, although he has been appointed by the BJP Central government, he is the Attorney General for the nation of India and is paid by the taxpayers to reveal the truth. But then, truth can be very inconvenient (The Wire). What do they say about power? And morality?
