Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday reiterated that the newly-elected BJP government will table the pending 14 Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) reports in the first session of the Assembly beginning Monday. However, former Chief Minister Atishi countered the claim, saying the reports have already been submitted to the House.
The three-day session, starting Monday, will see oath-taking of newly-elected MLAs, the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, as well as the tabling of the 14 pending CAG reports on the performance of the previous AAP government.
Speaking to reporters, Gupta also accused the previous Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi-led governments of financial mismanagement and asserted that they
must be held accountable.
"The most important thing is putting the pending CAG report on the House table in the first session. The last government, which misused the hard-earned money of the people of Delhi, will have to account for every penny spent," she said.
The pending audit reports will be tabled on the second day of the Assembly session on February 25 after Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's address to the House, said a bulletin issued by the House secretariat.
Responding to Rekha Gupta's remark, Atishi, who was appointed Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, earlier today, claimed that she had already sent all the CAG reports to the Governor and accused the BJP of spreading misinformation.
