New Delhi, Dec 27: With hours left before Arvind Kejriwal becomes the Chief Minister of Delhi, a wave of panic is swirling through Delhi’s government departments, leaving shredded paper in its wake. A sting operation by Headlines Today has revealed incriminating files being quietly destroyed, dubious documents being shredded, and suspicious data being discretely erased in Delhi government offices.
The team equipped with sting cameras carried out operation into the offices of ministers at Delhi Secretariat near ITO and at the office of Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
Incidentally, Sheila Dikshit was also the DJB chairperson.
Former minister Arvinder Singh Lovely’s officer on special duty (OSD) was found busy destroying files and documents by the operation.
While files were being destroyed in one room, groups of officers were running around others trying desperately to get transfers from out of the expected Kejriwal tsunami.
The team also visited the office of Delhi Jal Board Headquarters in Delhi’s Jhandewalan area. Arvind Kejriwal had levelled allegations of a scam of over Rs.10,000 crore in DJB. Ironically, the officials working here would soon be reporting to Kejriwal, who as Chief Minister would also take charge as chairman of the board.
The most shocking revelation of the sting came from the P. A. to the Jal Board Chief Vigilance Officer A.K. Ambasht. Speaking to the reporters on sting cameras he accepted that most of the DJB officials have two cars, and that even the head clerk of his office moves in car.
The CVO said that he and a handful of upright Jal Board officials now hope that Kejriwal will play demolition man and rid the board of these politically powerful private players.
The team questioned a DJB official, "Where will revenue for 700 litres free water come from?" The answer was shocking. The official replied that revenue was not required for free water. He advised to curtail extra expenses to have extra money.
