Clean chit for Kejriwal, Sisodia puts BJP’s anti-corruption narrative to the test, but is also a test of Opposition unity

27 Feb, 10:10 — 27 Feb, 10:33

Why this matters

The excise policy case has been a significant point of contention, with the ruling BJP frequently using anti-corruption allegations against Aam Aadmi Party leaders. A 'clean chit' for prominent figures like Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia directly challenges the BJP's narrative and could significantly impact political dynamics, potentially influencing future opposition alliances and electoral strategies.
