THREE SCAMS
IN AAP, DELHI
SARASIJ
MAJUMDER
Delhi Excise Policy scam, Sheeshmahal scam and Mohalla
clinic scam
DELHI EXCISE POLICY SCAM:--
1.0 The investigation relates to the now-withdrawn Delhi liquor sales policy
introduced in 2021. Sources in the agency said they have uncovered fresh
evidence and have grounds to question the Chief Minister now.
2.0Under
the policy, in a departure from norms in most states, the Delhi government no
longer had anything to do with selling liquor and allowed only private shops to
do so.
3.0It
also allowed the home delivery of liquor and shops to stay open till 3 am.
Licensees could also offer unlimited discounts. A sure source of generating BLACK
MONEY.
4.0However,
the reforms soon ran into trouble, first with the Economic Offences Wing of the
Delhi Police, which reports to the BJP-led government at the centre. Then, with
Delhi's new Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, also a representative of the central
government.\
5.0 Citing a report from Delhi's top bureaucrat which
accused Mr Sisodia of bending rules and providing undue benefits to liquor vend
licensees, Mr Saxena asked for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
6.0Not long after, Manish Sisodia said the policy was going
to be cancelled because the BJP was using the investigating agencies it
controls to intimidate vendors. He also blamed Mr Saxena's predecessor Anil
Baijal for a "last-minute change" that crippled the reforms.
7.0 Until his arrest, Mr Sisodia had not been named in the
chargesheet filed by the agency. But last year, the CBI raided 31 locations,
including his home.
8.0Separately, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) also
launched a probe into the Delhi liquor scam, alleging money laundering, and
claimed a liquor lobby dubbed the "South Group" paid at
least ₹ 100 crore in kickbacks to AAP for its Goa election campaign
via one of the arrested businessmen.
9.0 The ED widened the scope of the probe, going as far as
to implicate K Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar
Rao, another strident critic of the BJP, and arresting her former accountant.
10.0 It claimed the policy caused
a ₹ 2,800 crore loss to the government.
SHEESHMAHAL SCAM:-
45
crores rupees were spent on renovation of CM house. It is true that it’s not
Kejriwal’s own house & will be used by all future CMs of Delhi. BUT- the
reason this has come as a shock to people is because :
- The amount was
sanctioned during the time when India was facing its most difficult
time due to Covid.
- That was also the time
when Kejriwal & it’s party said that they were short of funds for
oxygen & vaccines etc.
- This is also the time
when Kejriwal wasn’t able to make payments to state government
employees including teachers due to shortage of funds.
- This expenditure was
done by a party which came to politics to finish VIP culture. It may
be recalled that Arvind Kejriwal in 2013 had announced that neither him
nor any of his AAP ministers would move to the bungalows provided by the
government and insisted that they would be allotted smaller government
flats.
If
this amount was spent by any other party, there would probably have been lessor
criticism because we have already accepted that politicians live a luxury life
on taxpayers money. However, this fellow, Arvind Kejriwal said that he would
transform Indian politics & live like a common man in spite of being a CM.
Some
of the most shocking parts of the report are below:
- Approximately 1 crore
rupees was passed for Procuring 23 curtains. Some curtains cost more than
8 lakh rupees each. Can you believe this?
- The marble used in the
renovation of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s residence was imported from
Vietnam at a cost of Rs 3 crores.
- Not only this, Rs 21.60
lacs was being spent on the chemical used to fix the marble. Can you
believe this? Only chemical worth 21.60 lakhs.
- Rs. 40 lakhs were spent
for the six almirahs.
- Six carpets were bought
for about 20 lakh rupees.
- 2 modules kitchens were
made for about 63 lakh rupees.
AK—49, is the fellow who used to spend 350 rupees on his
muffler (as per his statement) has passed bill of 97 lakh rupees for 23
curtains, from tax payers’ money.
MOHALLA CLINIC SCAM:-
The vigilance department of Delhi government received complaints
from an NGO that the Mohalla Clinics were overcharging from the government.
MOHALLA CLINICS UNDER THE SCANNER: THINGS TO KNOW
- According
to the complainant NGO, some of the Mohalla Clinics are charging over Rs 4
lakh a month, which means that more than 500 patients are visiting them a
day.
- The
vigilance department raised its doubts over the claim of Mohalla Clinics
prompting the government to conduct inspection.
- A health department officer, who
led a surprise check said, "We
are on an inspection of Mohalla Clinics. We are checking the number of
patients, quality and quantity of medicines purchased, doctor and other
staffers' attendance and other equipment bought."
- The
NGO had shot off a letter to the
office of Lieutenant Governor and the vigilance department listing out its
finding and alleged corruption.
- Following
the complaint, the vigilance department sought details of all the Mohalla
Clinics from the offices of each chief medical officer. Acting on the
report of the vigilance department, the health department has launched an
inspection drive.
- A
doctor hired for a Mohalla Clinic earns Rs 30 per patient while supporting
staff gets Rs 10 for every patient. The clinics operate from 9 am to 1 pm
for six days a week.
- After
the reports of irregularities in Mohalla Clinics, the Congress has lashed
out at the Kejriwal government. Delhi Congress vice president Chatar Singh
accused the Aam Adami Party for benefitting its cadre through Mohalla
Clinics.
- Chatar
Singh said, "How can a doctor attend more than 500 patients in four
hours. This is a scam and it should be probed by the CBI."
Conclusion:- The Kattar
Inamdar CM of DELHI—AK-49, and his associates are neck deep in SCAMS. Top three
are discussed.
