Delhi Minister Alleges Financial Irregularities Under Previous AAP Government Citing CAG Report
A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on Delhi government finances from 2019 to 2023 was tabled in the Delhi Assembly by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh cited the report to allege large-scale financial irregularities under the previous AAP government led by Arvind Kejriwal, including pending tax revenues of about Rs 70,410 crore, misuse of GST registrations, and irregularities in electricity subsidy schemes. Singh also claimed that many CAG reports had not been previously tabled in the Assembly. The report highlights issues such as bogus e-way bills and non-compliance in investigations.
