Addressing a press conference held at Aam Aadmi Party headquarters, Aam Aadmi Party state president Saurabh Bhardwaj said that yesterday, through a press conference, I asked the BJP -ruled Delhi government, that it is a directive of Delhi High Court that the Delhi High Court’s 8 April 2024 is to be conducted by an independent agency for the Dilating work done by the government and this directive of the Delhi government is obliged on the Delhi government. He said that I want to know whether the Delhi government got a third party audit of D silting work as per the order of the High Court?

The situation in Delhi is the same

Saurabh Bhardwaj said that I had asked this because for many years we have been saying this continuously and the Hon’ble High Court also admitted that there is a large -scale corruption in the work of de silting. Only work is done on paper, contractors are paid in lieu of work, but there is no work on the ground. The problem of waterlogging generated in the whole of Delhi after a little rains in Delhi two days ago is a big example of this. Saurabh Bhardwaj said that this time also the Delhi government made big claims about de silt. Crores of rupees were spent by the government on the work of de silting. But this time too, the condition remained the same.

Have you done the audit or not?

Saurabh Bhardwaj said that yesterday, through a press conference, I had asked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta in this regard, whether the government has conducted a third party audit of de silt? If it is done then its report should be made public. He said that the Delhi government is silent on this question of mine. There was no response from the Delhi government. But a question came from BJP’s Delhi Pradesh President Virendra Sachdeva ji in response to this question. He told that Virendra Sachdeva ji has asked us the question that last year you had your government in Delhi, why did you not get the third party audit of de silt?

Saurabh Bhardwaj while answering this question said that last year I had written a letter to the Chief Secretary and asked about the status report of D Silting and at the same time many letters were written to the Chief Secretary regarding the third party audit of D Silting. To verify his point, Saurabh Bhardwaj also broadcast a video in front of the media in which he is asking questions about the status report and third party audit of D-Silting in a meeting with the then Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar ji and other officials. He said that despite the order of the Hon’ble High Court and I was written several times, the then Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar ji did not conduct a third party audit of de silt.

Many big officials will get caught in this case

Through the press conference, Saurabh Bhardwaj made a big allegation saying that he obviously knew that Daeling was being done only on paper, if the investigation is done, many big officials will get caught in this case, hence a third party audit of de-silting was not conducted to hide corruption. He said that in this letter, I have also requested Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ji to get it investigated that despite I wrote a letter to Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar ji many times, why was not the third party audit of de silting work last year?

Delhi government will not order ACB investigation

Saurabh Bhardwaj said that it seems to me that this year also the third party audit of de silting work is not being done. He said that if the third party audit is not being done this year, then it should also be investigated why it is not happening? Saurabh Bhardwaj said that the then Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar has been one of the BJP’s favorite officers and I have less hope that Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will get the ACB investigated against him. He said that if the BJP -ruled Delhi government does not order an ACB inquiry in this regard, then it will be proved that the BJP’s Delhi government is completely ready to hide the corruption happening in de silt and cover it.
