CAG Report Highlights Financial Irregularities During Previous Delhi Government Tenure
A recent Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report covering Delhi government finances from 2019 to 2023 was tabled in the Delhi Assembly, highlighting alleged financial irregularities during the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government led by Arvind Kejriwal. Delhi ministers from the current BJP government cited issues including pending tax revenues exceeding Rs 70,000 crore, misuse of GST registrations, irregularities in tenders, and electricity subsidy scheme lapses. The BJP claims these findings reveal large-scale non-compliance and revenue losses, while the report's release marks increased scrutiny of the former administration's financial management.
