Kejriwal is Corrupt: Delhi Minister Sirsa on CAG Report on DTC
The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has been plagued by financial mismanagement, and the latest Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report has shed light on the magnitude of the problem. The report highlights the AAP government’s failure to reform the DTC, leading to a loss of hundreds of crores to the exchequer. In response to the report, Delhi Minister Manjinder Sirsa has accused former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of corruption, saying that the CAG report is a testament to the corruption that pervades the AAP government.
Sirsa’s comments came during a discussion in the Delhi Assembly on Monday, where he stated that the CAG report reveals a pattern of corruption and financial mismanagement that is characteristic of the AAP government. He accused Kejriwal of making false promises to the people of Delhi, claiming that he would remove corruption from the system. Instead, Sirsa said that the CAG report shows that corruption has become the hallmark of the AAP government.
“Kejriwal came saying he will remove corruption, now we open any book and there’s only corruption, corruption and only corruption,” Sirsa said, emphasizing that the CAG report is a clear indication of the AAP government’s failure to combat corruption.
The CAG report, which was tabled in the Delhi Assembly on Monday, reveals that the DTC has incurred losses of over Rs 1,200 crore due to financial mismanagement and corruption. The report highlights several irregularities, including the misuse of funds, corruption in the tendering process, and the lack of transparency in decision-making.
The report also criticizes the AAP government for its failure to reform the DTC, saying that the government has not taken adequate measures to improve the corporation’s financial health. The report recommends that the government should take immediate action to reform the DTC and ensure transparency and accountability in its operations.
AAP MLA Atishi, who is also a close aide of Kejriwal, has sought a discussion on the CAG report in the Delhi Assembly. She has accused the BJP of trying to politicize the report and divert attention from the real issues facing the DTC.
“We will discuss the CAG report in the Assembly and will not let the BJP’s attempt to politicize it go unnoticed,” Atishi said.
However, Sirsa has slammed Atishi’s request for a discussion, saying that the CAG report is a clear indication of the AAP government’s failure and that there is no need to discuss it further.
“The CAG report is a factual report that reveals the AAP government’s failure to reform the DTC. There is no need to discuss it further, as the report speaks for itself,” Sirsa said.
The CAG report on DTC is the latest in a series of reports that have highlighted the AAP government’s failure to reform the public sector. The report is a blow to the AAP’s claims of being a corruption-free government, and it has led to widespread criticism of Kejriwal and his government.
The BJP has long accused the AAP of being corrupt, and the CAG report has provided evidence to support these claims. The party has been demanding a thorough investigation into the financial irregularities and corruption in the DTC, and the report has given them a significant boost in their efforts.
In conclusion, the CAG report on DTC is a damning indictment of the AAP government’s failure to reform the public sector. The report highlights the corruption and financial mismanagement that has plagued the DTC, and it has led to widespread criticism of Kejriwal and his government. The BJP’s accusations of corruption have been vindicated, and it remains to be seen how the AAP government will respond to the report.
