Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel on Sunday said that major cases of alleged graft and financial bunglings during the Sheila Dikshit government’s rule, including CWG scam, will be probed, if the BJP returns to power in the city.
“There will be no witch hunt. But if this government has done something wrong, then definitely we will order probe,” Mr Goel said.
Exuding confidence of winning the election after the party’s three consecutive defeats, Mr Goel said the BJP would present an “alternative agenda” for inclusive growth for the city while taking “best components” from the development models of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
Alleging that the Congress government in the city was involved in “massive corruption” and that people were fed up with the current dispensation, Mr Goel said investigations will be ordered into major scams and irregularities if the BJP wins the election.
Mr Goel assured that he will insist upon in-dept investigation in scams. “We will definitely do (ordering probe) it. I was involved in CWG. I had started an agitation against corruption in hosting of the Commonwealth Games. When the CVC, CAG and the Prime Minister-appointed Shunglu Committee found it (graft), that means there was corruption.”
Noting that the hike in power tariff will be a major issue, Mr Goel said if BJP forms government it will on the very first day order a a detailed probe into the accounts of the private power distribution companies.
The BJP has already announced that it will cut tariff by 30 per cent if it wins the polls while alleging “an unholy nexus” between the city government and the private companies.
Mr Goel added that there has been a wave in Narendra Modi’s favour across the country, including Delhi. “There is a craze for Modi particularly among youngsters. People are saying the country will progress under his leadership. He will make a huge impact in Delhi,” he said.
