CAG reports in limelight again as Delhi Assembly session set to begin

The tabling of 14 Comptroller and Auditor General of India reports in the first Delhi Assembly session since the Bharatiya Janata Party won the state polls is set to take centre stage again with the ruling party alleging the reports since 2017 will expose the Aam Aadmy Party’s “corrupt practices”, and the AAP refuting alleging that the CAG “was working as a unit of the BJP”. They will have to provide an account of every single rupee.” Pro tem speaker and BJP MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely said: “The CAG reports haven’t been tabled and the AAP has already starting saying that it is an attempt to spread misinformation. On the alleged delay in tabling these CAG reports, Atishi said that “it is routine procedure” and that “CAG reports are sent to speakers at different times.” AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha posted on X: “CAG is working as a unit of BJP and instead of conducting a natural audit, it is a conspiracy to defame AAP. Parts of these reports on matters pertaining to liquor policy, 6, Flag Staff Road bungalow and publicity expenses were leaked in the run-up to the polls but the AAP termed them “fake reports.” The Delhi Assembly session will commence on February 24 and according to the agenda, the tabling of reports will take place on the second day of the session.
