New Delhi, March 4 -- As the liquor stores open on Holi this year, Congress leader Abhishek Dutt slammed the BJP government in Delhi, accusing the government of giving a "gift to the liquor mafia".

The accusation came days after the discharge of Arvind Kejriwal in relation to the Delhi excise policy case.

"On Arvind Kejriwal's release (discharge), the BJP has given a gift to the liquor mafia. In Delhi, liquor was never sold on the day of Holi... but today is Holi, everyone celebrates Holi happily, the BJP also celebrate Holi and fulfils its promises," he said.

Liquor stores in Delhi remain open on the occasion of Holi 2026 as the festival is no longer on the list of 'dry days', as per a government order issued earlier this year.
