Record Rs 526 crore liquor sold in city ahead of Diwali

IndiaTimes Monday, 13 November 2023
The excise department of Delhi government has set a new record by selling liquor worth over Rs 526 crore in the two weeks leading up to Diwali this year. This is a 44% increase compared to the same period last year, with nearly 3 crore bottles sold. The sale of liquor before Diwali starts picking up after Dussehra and peaks a few days before the festival. The increase in sales can be attributed to the increase in the number of liquor stores in Delhi and people's trust in the quality available there.

LS Polls 2024: Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Lovely resigns, cites interference by leader | Oneindia

Arvinder Singh Lovely, the Delhi Congress chief, tendered his resignation on Sunday, citing significant interference by the party's general secretary in-charge and the contentious alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi. In his resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Lovely expressed feeling "handicapped" and unable to effectively lead the Delhi Congress unit. Highlighting numerous instances of discord, Lovely outlined objections raised by several party leaders regarding the conduct of Deepak Babaria, the Congress's general secretary in-charge for Delhi. Despite these objections, Lovely faced immense pressure to dismiss the dissenting leaders who opposed Babaria's approach. #ArvinderLovely #DelhiCongress #Resignation #LeaderInterference #Elections2024 #LokSabhaPolls #CongressAAPAlliance #PoliticalResignation #PartyInterference #DelhiPolitics #LeadershipFriction #PoliticalAlliance #PartyConflict #PoliticalTensions #CongressLeaders ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.101~
