Delhi BJP URGES THE Lt. GOVERNOR TO ORDER ACTION AGAINST CULPRITS OF 400 Crores DELHI JAL BOARD TANKER SCAM & SEEK REPORT FROM THE CHIEF MINISTER OVER THE FEAR OF DESTABILISING GOVERNMENT or LOSS OF HIS JOB AS EXPRESSED BY MINISTER KAPIL MISHRA IN HIS 28th August 2015 LETTER TO THE C.M.
New Delhi, 11th May: Delhi BJP Leaders led by the State President Shri Satish Upadhyay today met the Lt. Governor of Delhi Shri Najeeb Jung and submited a memorandum raising the issue of the contents of a letter written by Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra to the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressing fears of loosing job alongwith possibility of destabilising government if action is taken against the culprits of the Rs. 400 crores Delhi Jal Board Water Tanker Scam that took place under the Congress government era in Delhi.
The delegation included Leader of the Opposition in Assembly Shri Vijendra Gupta, National Secretary Sardar R P Singh, Delhi BJP General Secretaries MP Shri Ramesh Bidhuri, Shri Ashish Sood & Smt. Rekha Gupta, MLAs Shri O.P. Sharma & Shri Jagdish Pradhan and Media Incharge Praveen Shankar Kapoor.
The memorandum says that it is really surprising that Minister Kapil Mishra wrote a letter on 28th August 2015 to the Chief Minister citing findings of a inquiry committee report establishing that a Rs. 400 crores Water Tanker Scam took place in Jal Board during the tenure of Congress government led by C.M. Smt. Sheila Dikshit who headed the Jal Board too but no action has been ordered by the Chief Minister of Delhi against the Tanker Scam accused even after almost 9 months.
BJP leaders have in the memorandum said that the present government of C.M. Kejriwal claims to be working on a agenda of zero tolerance of corruption and politically speaks a lot against corruption but the Kejriwal government has totally ignored the report of a Rs. 400 crores water tanker scam in Delhi Jal Board during the tenure of a previous government.
Memorandum says it seems either the present government is under a malafide deal with the erstwhile C.M. Smt. Sheila Dikshit or the C.M. finds a threat to his government if he acts in the matter of the tanker scam as indicated by Minister Mishra in his letter. The people of Delhi have all the right to know who is posing threat to Kejriwal Cabinet in case it acts against corruption deeds of Sheila government era.
BJP Memorandum urges the Lt. Governor to seek a immediate report from C.M. Arvind Kejriwal on the contents of the Minister Kapil Mishra's letter dated 28th August 2015 and the silence of his cabinet on the Rs. 400 crores scam.
Memorandum says that at the time when Minister Mishra wrote this letter he was working in dual capacity as Law Minister & Jal Board Chief. As a Law Minister he could have directly ordered arrest of the scam accused or filling of case against them. Fearing an independent action the Chief Minister shunted out Minister Mishra from the Law Department within 2 days and later from Jal Board too.
Delhi BJP President Shri Satish Upadhyay said that it is really surprising the a self proclaimed Mr. Clean Kejriwal has time to speak on international issues but goes silent on a major 400 crores scam of his predecessor government.
Shri Upadhyay said people of Delhi want to know from the C.M. as to towards whom Minister Kapil Mishra indicated while expressing fears of threat to the government or self if arrests are made in the 400 crores scam ? People want to know why the C.M. Kejriwal has been silent on the scam even after 9 months of the report ?
LOP Shri Vijendra Gupta has said that this 400 crores water tanker scam referred in Minister Mishra's letter is not even tip of the iceberg. For last 15 years Delhi Jal Board has been a corruption den where over 75% of development funds are looted.
Shri Vijendra Gupta said that BJP will go all out to demand a thorough probe into all deals & development projects of Delhi Jal Board during the Sheila Dikshit regime and under the present Kejriwal government.
