CAG report exposes ‘Kejriwal Governance’: Not a single toilet constructed under Swachh Bharat Mission in Delhi

New Delhi, April 4: The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) report has exposed the Kejriwal led AAP government's claim of all round development. According to the CAG annual report, not a single toilet was constructed in the National capital after the initiative of PM Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Mission.'

“All three Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCDs) and the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) received a total of Rs 40.31 crore under the mission, including Rs 10.08 crore as state share, but the entire fund remained unutilised as of March 2017,” the report said.

"NDMC, SDMC and DCB did not assess the requirement of household toilets, but the Mission funds totalling Rs 16.92 crore was released to them for construction of household toilets," the CAG report said.

The auditing body said the DUSIB, responsible for making slums and JJ clusters in the city open defecation free (ODF), did not receive the state share from the Delhi government.

"The DUSIB received (as in January 2016) an amount of Rs 6.86 crore, including the state share of Rs 1.71 crore (25 percent of the total cost) against Rs 41.49 crore required by them.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal warned of exemplary action in cases of corruption and irregularities as pointed out by the CAG in its report. As per details available, over 50 cases from the CAG report have been identified to be sent to CBI for inquiry.
