BJP hails FIR, AAP calls charges absurd | Delhi News – The Times of India

New Delhi: Referring to the anti-corruption branch’s FIR in an alleged classroom construction scam, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said on Wednesday that a decisive moment had come to the fore in the fight of Delhiites against the corruption of AAP and its govt.
“ACB initiated an investigation against former ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, who are accused of a scam in classroom construction under the guise of educational and infrastructure reform,” he said. “As soon as Arvind Kejriwal came to power in 2015, he began laying the foundation for various corrupt practices. At that very time, BJP started raising its voice against these irregularities,” he added.
Sachdeva said Kejriwal govt had allocated Rs 2,892 crore for the construction of 12,748 classrooms in govt schools, meaning approximately Rs 24.86 lakh for one room. “According to CPWD manual estimates, the cost should have been around Rs 5 lakh,” he claimed.
Hitting back, AAP said it was now clear that this BJP govt was incapable of doing any real work. “All they know is to file one baseless case after another against Manish Sisodia and other AAP functionaries,” claimed the party. “At this rate, one shouldn’t be surprised if BJP’s agencies register a case tomorrow saying, why… did Manish Sisodia forget to put a comma or a full stop in an official document? That’s the level of absurdity this has reached.”
It added, “It is no coincidence that as soon as Durgesh Pathak is appointed sah-prabhari of Gujarat, an FIR is registered against him and his house is raided. The moment Sisodia and Jain are given roles in Punjab, fresh FIRs appear against them,” it added. “This is pure political vendetta.”
