BJP protested at DJB headquarters regarding corruption
New Delhi: BJP leaders and workers protested outside the Delhi Jal Board office on Thursday, alleging corruption in the AAP government-run water works body.
BJP leaders accused the DJB of running a “scam” of awarding fake tenders for upgrading its sewerage treatment plants.
There was no immediate response from DJB or AAP government on the allegations of BJP leaders.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the DJB “scam” is bigger than the Kejriwal government’s “liquor scam”.
He alleged that there were many instances in DJB where tenders were issued, payments were made, but no work was done.
“The Rs 1,200 crore STP tender was issued for Rs 1,546 crore and was increased to Rs 1,938 crore. Sachdeva said, a fortnight ago we had alleged a scam of Rs 3,753 crore in DJB on the basis of documents and even today we stand by it.
Sachdeva said that BJP workers will reach every house in Delhi to expose the corruption of DJB under the Kejriwal government.
Leader of Opposition Ramveer Singh Bidhuri demanded a CBI inquiry into the alleged corruption.
He alleged that the DJB meeting approving the tenders was attended by Manish Sisodia and minister Saurabh Bhardwaj along with several AAP MLAs as panel members.
The opposition leader claimed that DJB, which had made a profit of Rs 700 crore a few years ago, has now gone into loss of Rs 70,000 crore and despite repeated letters from the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Kejriwal government is avoiding audit. Plank.
