New Delhi: After tabling CAG report on DTC on the first day of Delhi Budget session, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Monday accused former CM Arvind Kejriwal of corruption in Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC).
Speaking on the DTC Manjinder Singh Sirsa stated, “Kejriwal came saying he will remove corruption, now we open any book and there’s only corruption, corruption and only corruption.”
Lashing out at the AAP government, Sirsa pointed out that the Delhi High Court had stated that there should be a fleet of 11,000 buses. “But apart from two electric buses, you did not bring a single DTC bus,” he said.
Sirsa further criticised AAP for the closure of bus routes and a decline in revenue while highlighting an increase in government grants to DTC.
“Buses could run on only 468 routes out of Rs 814. 914 crore came from DTC in 2015-16, but now Rs 550 crore are coming. Delhi government used to give Rs 1174 crore grant to DTC in 2015-16, which was increased to Rs 2320 crore but no one knows where the money is going. Earlier, it used to cost Rs 213 per km to run a bus, which the Kejriwal government increased to Rs 487 per km. No calculator can tell how this calculation was done,” Sirsa said.
He also demanded a thorough probe, stating, “The CAG report screams about how much corruption was done.”
