The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said that the party will request the Delhi government to inquire into an alleged scam in the BJP-governed North Delhi Municipal Corporation regarding processing waste using machines taken on rent.
“The BJP-ruled civic body is to pay a yearly rent of ₹2.20 crore for trommel machines that can be bought for ₹17.70 lakh and the proposal has been passed by the standing committee on Tuesday. Our North body Leader of Opposition, Vikas Goyal, will file a complaint to the Delhi government under Section 207 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Amendment Act 2011, so that it can undertake a special audit and make everything crystal clear,” AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
He claimed that the monthly rent of each trommel machine is ₹6.3 lakh and questions were being raised by their own auditor that this amount is too high.
