L-G Saxena orders investigation into Delhi govt’s power subsidy plan
Delhi LG Vinai Kumar Saxena has ordered a probe into the alleged irregularities in the power subsidy scheme of the AAP dispensation, prompting a strong response from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who linked it to the Gujarat polls and claimed the move aimed at stalling the free electricity initiative.
According to sources at the LG office, Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar has been asked to conduct an inquiry and submit a report within a week.
Saxena’s action followed a complaint filed at the LG Secretariat which raised issues of “impropriety and discrepancies” in the power subsidy scheme of the Kejriwal government, the sources said.
