New Delhi: Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken on Sunday alleged that the BJP-led Central government is not serious in fighting corruption as he pointed out that no FIR has been filed against the Aam Aadmi Party even after the Shunglu committee report.
“When no report has been filed then how can we believe that the Centre is serious in fighting against corruption? A case must be registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act,” Mr Maken said at a press conference. The Shunglu committee report had alleged serious charges of corruption and nepotism against the AAP government.
He also demanded the resignation of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over the “graft” charges made by sacked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Kapil Mishra, adding that the party had “lost its anti-corruption plank”. He also met Delhi police chief and said that the Delhi Congress will launch a campaign to collect 10 lakh signatures from people supporting the demand for Mr Kej-riwal’s resignation.
“The CBI should register cases regarding Mr Mishra’s allegation that he saw Mr Kejriwal receiving Rs 2 crore from health minister Satyen-dar Jain, and also with regard to the findings of Shungulu Committee report,” the Delhi Congress chief said.
A day after being dropped as a minister, AAP MLA Kapil Mishra on Sunday levelled stunning allegations of corruption against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendar Jain.
Mishra told reporters at Raj Ghat here that he “saw” Jain “handing over Rs 2 crore to Kejriwal” at his official residence. He also alleged that Jain told him about a Rs 50 crore land deal that the latter had settled for a relative of Kejriwal.
“AAP was formed on three basic premises of fight against corruption, internal democracy and Lokpal. They have lost all these premises,” Mr Maken said.
