New Delhi: A fresh storm is brewing in Delhi politics as BJP leader and minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Friday alleged that the upcoming Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on “Public Health Infrastructure & Management of Health Services” will expose AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s “blatant dishonesty.”
Sirsa claimed that the report would highlight massive irregularities and misuse of public funds allocated for hospitals and health services during the AAP regime. “Another CAG report of Arvind Kejriwal’s corruption will be tabled in Delhi Assembly today. How he looted Delhi in the name of hospitals and health services… How there was no power supply in mohalla clinics… The pages of the CAG report will say that Arvind Kejriwal is ‘kattar beimaan’ (blatantly dishonest),” Sirsa alleged.
This comes just a day after the CAG report on Delhi’s now-scrapped liquor policy was referred to the Public Accounts Committee, revealing an alleged ₹2,002.68 crore loss to the exchequer. The BJP government has also promised to present nearly 14 other CAG reports that, according to them, were not submitted by the AAP government.
BJP MLA Satish Upadhyay echoed similar sentiments, stating that the revelations in the report would further expose the Kejriwal-led administration. “The party (AAP) that calls itself transparent has cheated the people of Delhi and committed huge corruption. Certainly, we are fully prepared to bring back every single penny of the people of Delhi… Today, the CM will table the (CAG) report on health (in the Assembly), which will make so many things crystal clear,” he said.
