Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched a strong criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) during a session of the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday. She accused the former government of failing to present crucial Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports that should have been submitted much earlier. Gupta’s remarks highlight ongoing tensions between her administration and AAP, as accountability and transparency in governance continue to be key issues in the political landscape.
“Schemes Announced, Money Left Unspent”
“These CAG reports should have been tabled long ago, but they never were. The Chief Minister also accused the previous government of announcing schemes, taking credit for them and leaving the allocated funds unspent.
Speaking on the third day of the Assembly session, Gupta said her government had now placed the CAG reports before the House and that the Public Accounts Committee was also acting on them. Under our government, not only are the reports being tabled, the PAC is also taking action on them,” she said. The Chief Minister claimed the reports had “exposed” the previous government’s record across sectors and accused AAP of failing to spend money that was available for Delhi.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta accused the previous AAP government of not tabling CAG reports on time, saying the audits had now raised questions over spending, schemes and government contracts.
“They are talking about scams today.
The Chief Minister said her government had taken a series of administrative steps as part of what she described as a clean-up exercise. In their government, even the Chief Minister did not have a department,” she said.
