Taking on the Narendra Modi government, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urged the people of Delhi on Sunday to register complaints against corrupt officials in three agencies reporting to the Union government — the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Delhi Development Authority and the Delhi Police — which have been removed from the jurisdiction of the Delhi government’s anti-corruption branch (ACB).
Mr. Kejriwal was addressing a gathering after launching his government’s anti-corruption helpline.
Soon after coming to power at the Centre, the Modi government issued a notification on July 23, amending a 1993 notification, which fixed the jurisdiction of the ACB only “to the officers and employees of the Government of the National Capital of Delhi.” The three agencies face allegations of corruption.
In a reference to the BJP, Mr. Kejriwal said the “party that spends Rs. 10,000 crore in its election campaign cannot punish the corrupt.”
