After the alleged liquor policy issue, the Jal Board scam is also about to become a thorn in the neck of delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. While bjp had till now been a constant attacker on Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor and cm kejriwal over the liquor scam, now it is making noise about the irregularities prevailing in the delhi Jal Board. bjp leaders have demanded a cbi investigation.
Regarding this issue, delhi bjp President Virendra Sachdeva and bjp MLAs held a joint press conference on tuesday (April 9) and raised the issue of ongoing corruption in the delhi Jal Board. He said that in delhi the water bill in residential areas is Rs 790 for 30 kiloliters of water. service charge is Rs 219 and the sewer charge is Rs 474 and both together amount to Rs 1,484.
If we talk about water per kilo liter then it costs Rs 49 per kilo liter for the people of Delhi. kejriwal government, which talks about providing free water, is giving water at Rs 49 per kilo litre. In a commercial, one has to pay around Rs 80 for one-kilo liter of water.
No account of Rs 28,400 crore
Virendra Sachdeva said that the bjp has been saying for a long time that the delhi Jal Board scam is bigger than the liquor scam. You leaders have always been trying to avoid this. He said that the Finance Department of the delhi Government has told the supreme court that in the last 9 years, there has been no accounting of Rs 28,400 crore.
Citing the letter written by Atishi on march 9, the delhi bjp President said that the information received from his letter reveals many things. According to the information received from the letter, no revenue is generated from 59 percent water. Whereas there is no transparency on the use of additional 15 percent water. He said that today 74 percent of the water in delhi Jal Board is not being accounted for. That means the entire water board is running on only 26 percent water.
