BJP alleges scam in Delhi govt’s procurement of LED street lights

Delhi BJP legislators on Tuesday met the CBI director here, alleging a “scam” in the procurement of 210,000 LED street lights by the city government, a charge denied by the ruling AAP.

The BJP delegation, headed by the Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, demanded a probe into the alleged scam involving Rs 100 crore.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) hit back, saying the BJP is running a “factory of lies”.

“The BJP has started a factory of lies. In the last 4.5 years, they have filed two dozen cases against Delhi government, with the CBI Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB). Despite the fact that the BJP-ruled central government controls these agencies, nothing has been found,” AAP chief spokesperson and party MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj said.
