We demand dismissal of Mrs Sheila Dikshit as Kerala governor and registration of a criminal case against her and ministers of her cabinet for having looted the poor people of Delhi and having siphoned off around Rs 3,000 crore. The Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) reports tabled in the Parliament on Friday have confirmed that the Sheila Dikshit government wasted around Rs 3,000 crore in the name of providing basic services like sewer lines, water lines, roads and drainage to all the 895 unauthorised colonies – which in reality were not provided at all. The CAG has corroborated the findings of the former Delhi Lokayukta Justice Manmohan Sarin on the issue. The onus of providing justice to the people of Delhi now squarely rests with the Narendra Modi-led BJP’s central government. This government has over the past month removed governors appointed by the UPA on political grounds – then the obvious question is why is it shying away from sacking Mrs Sheila Dikshit ? The AAP demands that Mrs Dikshit be immediately removed and Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Bureau be directed to register a case against her and ministers of her government, under the Prevention of Corruption Act. In the CAG reports, there is no department/ministry which has not been found involved in financial irregularities during her tenure. The AAP government, had on February 3 this year, recommended to the President strictest possible action against Mrs Dikshit for the fraud committed by her government on the poor people. The President had sought the state government’s views on the findings of the Lokayukta report, submitted in November 2013. The then Congress-led UPA’s central government, during its last days in office, shockingly appointed Mrs Dikshit as governor of Kerala, in place of taking action against her for fooling poor people. The Lokayukta’s findings, now corroborated by the CAG report on unauthorized colonies have nailed Shiela Dikshit and her ministers beyond doubt. Her government had acted in complete violation of the Supreme Court judgment of 2006, in which it was clearly laid down that no government can regularise unauthorised colonies without providing basic facilities. Shiela Dikshit government played with the lives of around 40 lakh people residing in such colonies, by cheating them before every assembly election by distributing regularisation certificates which had no legal sanctity. It also needs to be investigated where actually this Rs 3,000 crore which has been shown in official papers as having been spent on providing basic facilities, has been siphoned off. According to the CAG, there are virtually no sewer lines in around 895 colonies and nearly half of these are without roads and drainage lines. Where has this money been spent ? It is clear that she was appointed a governor to allow her to escape prosecution for her acts of omission and commission during her tenure as chief minister and the BJP’s central government must ensure that she is brought to book. aamaadmiparty.org/sheila-dikshit-be-sacked-as-governor-and-booked-for-corruption
