NEW DELHI, June 23, 2022—Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ch. Anil Kumar said that officials and Ministers of the Arvind Kejriwal Government have turned corruption into such a big business that the Lt. Governor had to intervene to suspend four DANICS (Delhi Andaman Nicobar Island Civil Services) on corruption charges and disciplinary proceedings initiated against them, which should have been done by the AAP Government. Ch. Anil Kumar said that Kejriwal has been openly protecting his corrupt officials and Ministers, which was evident from Satyendra Jain being retained as a Minister, despite being in jail on corruption charges, and the Enforcement Directorate unearthing unaccounted cash and gold coins from his house and that of his aides. Ch. Anil Kumar said that it was shocking that of one of the officials suspended by Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena was a Deputy Secretary in the Chief Minister’s office, who was perhaps facilitating Kejriwal’s corrupt deals. He said that Kejriwal, who had ‘hailed’ the Punjab Chief Minister’s decision to sack his Health Minister for corruption within three months of swearing in, kept a blind eye on the corrupt deeds happening under his very nose in his own department. Ch. Anil Kumar said that before coming to power, Kejriwal had projected himself as a paragon of honesty and virtue in front of the unsuspecting Delhiites, but one by one, his façade of ‘honesty’ has been tumbling out of the closet, as 80 per cent of his Ministers have been charged for corruption and other misdeeds while 38 AAP MLAs have been booked for various cases. Ch. Anil Kumar said that corruption in the construction of temporary hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis has also surfaced as these hospitals existed only on paper. He said that after the Delhi Government announced floating of tenders for the construction of the hospitals, nothing progressed beyond that. He said that the Kejriwal Government played with the lives of the people during the pandemic crisis to collect funds for the Aam Aadmi Party, as it did nothing to save the thousands of lives which perished due to lack of medical oxygen, medicines and hospital beds.
