New Delhi [India], February 23 (ANI): Former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi clarified on Sunday that she had sent the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports to Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena before the election and accused the BJP of "spreading misconception."
Addressing a press conference, Atishi said, "As CM, I had sent the CAG report to the speaker of the Delhi assembly. These CAG reports were sent to the assembly in a sealed envelope before the elections. BJP is trying to spread the misconception that the CAG report is being presented by them...The misconception being spread among the people of Delhi should be brought before the public."
In the same press conference, AAP senior leader Gopal Rai announced the party's decision to select Atishi as the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Legislative Assembly.
Meanwhile, the BJP is set to table the CAG report in the Delhi assembly on February 25 during the three-day session of the Legislative Assembly.
Speaking with ANI, Vijender Gupta said that tabling the CAG report is the foremost agenda item of the government, as decided in the cabinet meeting held on Thursday.
The session will be held on February 24, 25 and 27.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the CAG report mentions irregularities in the supply of liquor, adding, "Now the truth will come out."
Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, "The CAG report was withheld for the last three years. The government, which claims to be an honest party, is the most corrupt. They did not want to bring the CAG report before the public. In the performance-based report, it says that there are irregularities in the supply of liquor. On one hand, they said that they want to work on education and health, but they are working on alcohol. There is a liquor scam and there are irregularities in supply also. Now, the truth will come out." (ANI)
