A delegation of the Delhi BJP comprising the MLAs and the
Corporators submitted a memorandum to Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Shri Najeeb
Jung apprising him of the spate of corruption under the present Government of
NCT of Delhi. The delegation demanded immediate removal of the Chief Minister
as she has lost not only any moral authority to continue in the office but also
the faith of the common people in Delhi

Speaking after the meeting with the Lieutenant Governor, Delhi
BJP President Shri Vijay Goel said, “There seems to be conspiracy of silence as
even four days after the Court's order neither the police nor we have been able
to get copy of the Court order. There are attempts to shield the corrupt chief
minister."
"The continuance of the Chief Minister under present
circumstances is against the ethos of the Constitutional democracy. The people
have lost faith in the Congress government completely. The Chief Minister’s
refusal to demit the office on her own is nothing but a fraud on the
Constitution,” he added.
“The Chief Minister’s defiance of public opinion and deliberate
demeaning of the directives of the Lokayukta and subsequently of the judiciary
have led to a Constitutional crisis, which calls for the sacking of the Chief
Minister,” added Shri Goel.
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Shri Vijay Kumar
Malhotra said, “The Congress government is a habitual offender in misusing the
public money. An FIR has been lodged against the Chief Minister for misusing
public money but the Government continues to use state fund for political
campaign. Like 2008-campaign, the Congress government is misusing the public
money for advertising campaign and has already spent Rs 300 crore. This Chief
Minister has no right to remain in the office.”
The Chief Minister was found misusing state fund for political
campaign in the run-up to 2008 Assembly elections after former Delhi BJP
President Shri Vijender Gupta filed a complaint with Delhi Lokayukta in this
connection. The Lokayukta indicted her in this case and found her guilty of spending
around Rs 22.6 crore of public money for her party’s political campaign.
But, this is not an isolated case of corruption against the
Chief Minister or her cabinet colleagues. In May 2013, the Lokayukta had
severely indicted the Chief Minister and the PWD Minister for the publication
of their photographs on a form offering loan at low rates to entrepreneurs from
SC, ST, OBC and minority communities.
The Shunglu Committee probing the CWG scam named the Chief
Minister for causing losses to the exchequer, yet she continues in the office
till date.

In Februray 2011, the Lokayukta of Delhi, in an unprecedented
order recommended the removal of a senior minister in the Sheila Dikshit
cabinet for trying to thwart a tax evasion probe against the owner of a well-known
banquet hall. The Lokayukta also recommended the Minister’s prosecution under
sections of the Delhi Value Added Tax Act, 2004.
The Chief Minister misrepresented facts about construction of
60,000 flats under ‘Rajiv Ratan Awas’ housing scheme back in the election year
of 2008. Back then, her Government claimed by publishing several booklets and
advertisements that 60,000 flats were ready to be handed over for possession to
the poor and slum dwellers. Whereas, the fact was that there were no flats
which were ready. The Lokayukta had censured the Chief Minister for this but no
action was taken on his report.
Under the weight of such monumental record of corruption,
the Chief Minister must be removed from the office so that erosion of
credibility of Constitutional rule of law could be checked and people’s faith
restored.
