A day after storming to power in Delhi following a gap of more than 26 years, the BJP on Saturday announced to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) at the first Cabinet meeting of the new government to probe corruption cases. BJP also stated that the AAP government’s corruption will be exposed once the 14 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports on city administration are tabled in the Delhi Assembly.

Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said the party has “zero tolerance” for corruption and those involved in scams will be held accountable.

“As Prime Minister Narendra Modi said many times, and so did we, the CAG report will be presented during the first Cabinet meeting. We will also form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate all corruption cases,” Sachdeva said.

Commenting on the BJP sweeping Delhi polls with 48 seats in the 70-member House, Sachdeva credited Prime Minister Modi and BJP president J P Nadda for guiding the party to success.

He emphasised that Delhi’s voters backed the BJP for development, expressing confidence in Modi’s leadership.

On the rout of the Congress which drew a blank for the third time in a row, Sachdeva said despite being a historically significant party, it has suffered a major downfall and should “work harder”.

BJP’s Rohini MLA Vijendra Gupta on Sunday said the AAP government’s corruption will be exposed once the 14 CAG reports on city administration are tabled in the Delhi Assembly.

The Delhi government did not present a single CAG report in the assembly during the past five years, he said in a statement.

Once these reports are finally disclosed, the AAP government’s wrongdoings will come to light, he asserted.

Gupta - the opposition leader in the outgoing assembly - slammed the AAP government for withholding the reports and expressed disappointment that opposition MLAs had to struggle to get these reports tabled in the Assembly. Despite repeatedly raising the issue in various Assembly sessions, they faced humiliation from ruling party MLAs instead of receiving a positive response. The situation forced them to appeal to constitutional authorities like the President, Lieutenant Governor, and Chief Secretary for intervention.

Despite raising the issue during multiple sessions, “we were met with hostility from previous ruling party MLAs instead of receiving a proper response”, he alleged.

Gupta and six BJP MLAs filed a petition in Delhi High Court last year, seeking its direction to the speaker to call a session of the assembly for tabling the CAG reports.

Gupta also accused the AAP government of deliberately withholding the reports out of fear that those would expose the corruption within the administration.

In an appeal to the public, Gupta said, “I request the people of Delhi to carefully read, listen to, and watch the reports when those are made public.”

“See for yourself how AAP misgoverned for 10 years. Do not let it get away - those responsible will soon be held accountable,” he added.
