Chandigarh, May 19

Rajya Sabha MP Partap Bajwa has sought a reply from Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Excise Department’s claim of no losses in 2019-20, except during lockdown.

In a series of tweets, tagging the Chief Minister, Bajwa said, “In one year, the Excise Department missed its revenue targets by Rs 286 crore and Rs 927 crore in two years. Even by the best estimates, the department would not have achieved its target of Rs 6,201 crore for 2019-20.”

Drawing the attention of the CM towards the arrest of kingpin of illicit liquor distribution from Rajpura, the MP said there was enough proof of growing liquor mafia network in the state.
