New Delhi: Alleging "massive corruption" in
all infrastructure projects linked to the Commonwealth Games
2010, BJP on Wednesday said Delhi Government has been spending huge sum of money "mindlessly" to speed up work on them as the mega event approaches.
Alleging that the Government was responsible for
"inordinate delays" in implementation of various key projects,
senior party leader V K Malhotra said huge cost escalation of
work was only benefitting the builders.
"Massive corruption is taking place in all the projects
being implemented by the Delhi Government. Now the Government
is ready to spend any amount of money to ensure national
prestige," Malhotra told reporters.
Asked whether he has any substantial proof to back his
allegation, he said the Comptroller and Auditor General in its
report has already found financial irregularities in
implementation of various projects.
"Cost of the projects has increased three-four times. Who
is responsible for it? Is it not corruption? Government is now
increasing cost of most of the projects which will only
benefit the builders and contractors," Malhotra, who is also
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, said.
