New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Saturday that a three-member committee formed in June by Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal said in his report that allegations of fraud against the government of the state in purchasing buses for the Delhi Transport Corporation were absolutely baseless. The committee, comprising OP Aggarwal, a retired IAS officer and former head of the Indian governments’ urban transport division, the principal secretary (vigilance) and the principal secretary-commissioner (transport) of the Delhi government, was formed last month by LG. BJP leader and Rohini Vijender Gupta MP had alleged irregularities in the process of purchasing 1,000 low-floor buses. At a press conference on Saturday, Sisodia said in the presence of Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot that senior BJP leaders continually accused the Delhi government of three months now of being involved in a DTC bus purchase scam. . He said that after reviewing 3,000 documents, the high-level investigative committee concluded that the Delhi government’s wrongdoing allegations were absolutely baseless. The central government investigative committee headed by the BJP could not find any flaws or irregularities in the purchase. of bus. The report of the commission of inquiry made it clear that the government led by Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi is honest and that the BJP opposition leaders in Delhi are trying to disparage the image of the government, the deputy CM said. Sisodia added, Chief Minister Kejriwals’ model of good governance, honesty and hard work policies are being discussed across the country. The Delhi government is working day and night for the people of Delhi, but instead of learning from it, BJP leaders are spreading hatred and lies. They stop the good work that is being done in the public interest. The leaders of the BJP should be ashamed and they should come in public to apologize. Minister Gahlot tweeted, truth wins, plots derail. I had always maintained that the BJP could consult any of our decisions from anywhere. The reality is that the BJP’s real motive was to defame @ArvindKejriwal ji and derail the process of getting buses for Delhiites. I am happy Delhi gets 1000 buses, Isodia said that between 2008 and 2015 no buses were bought in Delhi and after coming to power in 2015 whenever Kejriwal put out a tender for buying buses to improve public transport, BJP leaders tried to create obstacles. Sisodia said he was happy that now the buses are arriving in Delhi and the public transport service is being strengthened. He also said that the BJP also made false allegations against the Delhi government earlier and that the commission of inquiry summoned 400 state government files, but the panel found no errors in the whole process.
