Delhi CM bungalow renovation: CAG investigation ordered against Kejriwal to probe alleged irregularities

India TV News  

In yet another round of power tussle between the L-G and the AAP government, CAG investigation has been ordered to conduct a special audit into alleged irregularities in 'reconstruction' of CM's residence. BJP has alleged that the PWD increased the cost of renovation work at Kejriwal's official residence from Rs 7.62 crore to Rs 33.20 crore "without any sanction". The notice which was sent to PWD department said officials recorded on files of the department that changes made in the drawings of the interiors as per the requirement of the chief minister resulted in deviation in total work done and sanctioned amount. The PWD demolished the old structure without a survey report and constructed the new building without getting a new building plan sanctioned, it said.
