Aam Aadmi Party action on promises

 

As promised, Aam Aadmi Party government has sent files related to Street Light scam worth Rs 92 crore in CWG to Anti-corruption branch.

The Delhi government has asked anti-corruption bureau to probe a number of cases of corruption relating to alleged irregularities in Commonwealth Games projects.

Earlier in the month, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised to initiate action against the previous Shiela Dikshit government on corruption allegations. ...

"We are studying CWG files and all (Delhi) Jal Board files. We have set up an anti-corruption branch. In a few days we will start acting against the previous government. We won't spare the Congress," he had said.

Delhi government has asked the region's power regulator to revoke the licences of two electricity distributors if they fail to supply power, drawing criticism from the companies.

The distributors are BSES Yamuna Power Ltd and BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd, run by billionaire Anil Ambani's Reliance Infrastructure Ltd.

"Anil Ambani playing politics with delhi's electricity? Whose politics is he doing?," Mr Kejriwal tweeted....
Both companies have been warned by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that they must clear their bills with power providers and cannot threaten the city with large blackouts on account of a cash crunch. Reliance Infrastructure runs the distribution companies, with the Delhi government holding a 49% stake.

In the event of the licences being revoked, "suitable officers" would be appointed to administer the distribution companies and keep power switched on, the government has said.

State-run power producer NTPC has said that BSES Yamuna Power, which sells electricity in the central and eastern parts, must pay its bills or be cut off from February 11.
