Delhi Jal Board den of corruption under Kejriwal government: BJP

PTI, Feb 26, 2024, 5:26 PM IST

The BJP on Monday alleged the Delhi Jal Board has become a den of corruption under the government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his support for a one-time settlement for the consumers who have received inflated bills is nothing but a “one-time super scam” scheme.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claimed the scam may be worth around Rs 70,000 crore and said if Kejriwal is serious about waiving the inflated bills of consumers, then he can do it for each of those who have received them.

The proposal has been brought just before the Lok Sabha polls to make more commissions, he told reporters, alleging the AAP government has over the years given contracts to a select group at a price many times over the actual cost in lieu of bribes and commissions.
