AAP plans legal action against ED, accuses agency of being a mouthpiece of BJP
Live MintThe Aam Aadmi Party has rejected allegations of the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged 'Delhi Jal Board' scam case. On Wednesday, ED officials conducted searches on the premises of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal assistant and others in connection with the Delhi Jal Board corruption case. The ED stated that its probe revealed that a former chief engineer of the Delhi Jal Board passed on the bribe money to persons connected with AAP, among others, and that the money was also passed on to AAP as "election funds." Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP said that over the last 10 years, Modi government and their 'mayajaal' of agencies like ED and CBI have filed over 230 cases against AAP leaders. "If the ED was really keen on tackling corruption and money laundering, why is it that there is no investigation into scams of the Modi government revealed by the CAG like the Ayushman Bharat scam or Bharatmala project scam where a km of road was built for 250 Cr instead of 18 cr," it said.
