Centre, LG saving officers in CNG scam: AAP
New Delhi, October 3 "The Central government and the Delhi administration must reveal whether the CBI has recommended strict action and imposition of penalty on the city's top bureaucrats, including the Delhi Chief Secretary, in the scam by awarding a contract in violation of rules to a private firm for conducting fitness tests of commercial vehicles," an AAP statement said. According to the party, the silence of the Central government and the LG on the reported indictment gives rise to reasonable apprehensions that "people of Delhi are being cheated by an unaccountable administration and taxpayers' money is being looted". While the Congress will no doubt remain silent on the scam which took place in its tenure and allegedly involves its former Chief Minister and other members of her Cabinet, but the BJP's silence is mysterious, it said. Questioning the LG's move to close the probe, the AAP said the LG gave a clean chit to officers against whom the Delhi ACB had registered an FIR in 2012 and in doing this he ignored the ACB opinion that a case under the Prevention of Corruption was made out against these officers. He asked whether or not the LG send any report to the Union Home Ministry on the status of the case against the officers named in the FIR.
