AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj has demanded the withdrawal of the Delhi Liquor Booking app, threatening mass protests if the BJP-led government fails to remove the service within 24 hours.[^1]

The app is operated by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation. It was launched with a stated purpose of ensuring transparency and avoiding brand pushing in liquor sales.[^2]

Published records disagree on when the service went live. One account places the rollout in November 2025. A second reports the app launched in October 2026 ahead of Diwali.[^2][^3]

Users who complete paid orders through the app are required to collect their liquor from the selected outlet within 48 hours.[^4]
