‘24 Hours’: AAP’s Ultimatum To Rekha Govt Over Delhi Online Liquor Booking Facility

A political row has erupted in Delhi over an online liquor-booking facility, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj giving Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s government 24 hours to withdraw the service and threatening mass agitation.The facility allows customers to check liquor availability, book products and pay online, but it does not offer home delivery. Customers must collect their orders from selected outlets. The service currently operates across 208 liquor shops run by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC).The controversy has also raised questions over the facility’s approval and rollout. DSIIDC says the development was approved in December 2024, during the AAP government, while the service was launched in November 2025, under the BJP government.
