After report of Sheila Dikshit’s letter to lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung, Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra on Saturday accused the former Chief Minister of trying to “dictate” the terms of investigation into the water tanker scam.
Alleging a “collusion” between Jung and Dikshit, Mishra also shot off a letter to the l-G saying it was “unfortunate” that the “accused” was being given an opportunity to question the panel that found the alleged irregularities, instead of “being interrogated”.
“There are five FIRs against her for various corruption cases pending with ACB. Instead of questioning her, ACB is allowing her to now dictate the terms of investigation,” he said, adding the “true facts” of the case would have got Dikshit arrested had ACB been under the control of AAP Government.
In her letter, Dikshit has apprised the l-G about the technicalities involved in the decision to procure water tankers during her tenure. A Delhi Jal Board committee, led by Mishra, has questioned this decision claiming it saw irregularities running into over `400 crore.
