The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the alleged violation of rules in awarding contract to a private firm for conducting fitness tests of commercial vehicles which cost the state exchequer several crores. ‘It is strange the BJP, whose party leaders run to union ministers on all matters related to the national capital, reappointed bureaucrat (DM Spolia), indicted by the CBI, as chief secretary and are feigning ignorance about the scam,’ an AAP statement said.
Spolia was reappointed Delhi chief secretary 27 August. He replaced SK Srivastva who was appointed to the post during the 49-day rule of the AAP. ‘The silence of the central government and Lt. Governor (Najeeb Jung) on the reported indictment of top city bureaucrats by the CBI in what is commonly known as the 2002 CNG fitness scam gives rise to reasonable apprehensions that people of Delhi are being cheated by an unaccountable administration and taxpayers’ money is being looted,’ it added.
