Accusing the BJP-ruled municipal corporations for 'indulging' in widespread corruption, Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra said that even the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) report has not yet been tabled in the three houses of the civic bodies.
Chopra alleged that the CAG report has not been placed in the three houses of the MCDs which prove a scam of over Rs 5,000 crore house tax, building department, pension etc. He said that due to the shadow boxing between the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party, they were making allegations and counter allegations, to mislead the people. As a result, the all-round development of Delhi has been totally affected.
Releasing a report on the MCDs, Chopra said that citizen in Delhi cannot dare to go to the MCD offices as they cannot get their work done without bribing officials. Chopra said that out of the 205 Municipal Corporations across the country, the Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCDs) are the most corrupt. "The livelihood of lakhs of people has been snatched away due to sealing and MCDs have been collecting Cr of rupees from innocent people in the guise of stopping the illegal sealing drive," he said.
Leaders of Congress in Municipal Corporations, Mukesh Goel, Abhishek Dutt and Rinku said that out of 1,472 cases, internal audit has been done only in 77 cases in which a Rs 33 lakh corruption have been detected but if internal audit had been done in all the 1,472 cases, then corruption to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore would have been unearthed.
They said that the shortfall, which was 14 per cent during the Sheila Dikshit Government, has now risen to 25 per cent. Rinku exposed an Rs 215 Cr corruption in garbage lifting in East Delhi, adding that before getting the sanction of the House, such vehicles were bought which not only spreads pollution, but are also in violation of international standard. Mukesh Goel has also demanded a probe into parking scam.
Replying to a question on the Kejriwal Government's song, party spokesperson Mukesh Sharma coined a Congress version that 'Surte Haal, Kar Diya Kharab Dilli Ka-Ab Chale Jao Kejriwal'.
