NDTV
The AAPclaimed the Lt Governor cleared CBI probe into the pre-bid process for the bus purchases to "deflect" public attention from corruption charges levelled against him.
The BJP alleged on Sunday Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and corruption have become synonymous and demanded his resignation, in its latest attack on the AAP that came after the Lieutenant Governor cleared a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the alleged irregularities in the purchase of low-floor buses.
The AAP hit back, saying Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena approved a CBI probe into the pre-bid process for the purchase of 1,000 buses by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) just to "deflect" public attention from the corruption charges levelled against him.
At a press conference in Delhi, BJP's national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia alleged each department of the AAP government is involved in corrupt activities with "contracts and tenders being tailor-made to benefit the friends of Kejriwal".
"First, it was the excise policy, now there are irregularities in the purchase of buses. Giving tenders in exchange of money has become an important part of Kejriwal's politics. Kejriwal and corruption have become synonymous.
