Sheila Dikshit should own the responsibility of corruption in Government and resign

Chief Minister can’t escape from the charges of corruption by reshuffling the Departments under Raj Kumar Chauhan - Vijender Gupta

            New Delhi, 5th December.  Expressing his strong reaction to the recent reshuffle in the Cabinet of Delhi Government, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that the Chief Minister Smt. Sheila Dikshit can not escape her responsibility of corruption in the Government.  She should order for CBI enquiry into the corruption by Delhi Government so that the reality may come to light.

            Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan is facing serious charges of tax evasion in Tivoli Garden, corruption in CWG, distribution of provisional certificates to fictitious unauthorised colonies, recovering money from the rural areas of Delhi, helping in tax evasion, imposing taxes on the people of Delhi etc.  Only by down seizing his Ministry the purpose will not be served.  If the Chief Minister is impartial and honest then she should remove Raj Kumar Chauhan and order for CBI enquiry into his corruption.  It may be mentioned that the Lokayukta of Delhi had found Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan guilty in Tivoli Garden tax evasion case and had directed that the Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan should resign immediately.  CBI should enquire into his corruption.  The CAG of India had also made such recommendations on the corruption of Delhi Government.

            Shri Gupta told that in the month of February, Chief Minister had taken resignation from all the Ministers because Shunglu Committee and CAG had alleged corruption of crores of rupees.  At that time Smt. Sheila Dikshit had held Dr. A.K. Walia responsible for taking over financial power, PWD and Urban Development Ministry from him and she has given Revenue and Urban Development department to her favourite Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan.  When the case of bungling of thousands of crores in issuing Provisional Certificates to fictitious unauthorised colonies came to light then the Chief Minister did not own responsibility for this scam also.  Now she has shown that her anger against Raj Kumar Chauhan and hence she has handed over PWD to Dr. A.K. Walia again.  Now the Chief Minister has made Dr. Walia a super Minister by giving him, Urban Development department, Health & Family Planning Department, Revenue Department, Irrigation & Flood Department.  Now Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan has only PWD, S.C./S.T. Welfare Department, Employment Department under him.

            Shri Gupta told that by reshuffling the departments corruption will not come to end in Delhi Government.  Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit should own responsibility of all the corruption in Government and should immediately resign on moral grounds and order for enquiry so that the trust of the people may not be shaken in the rule of law.
