The Delhi Congress has intensified its scrutiny over the previous AAP government's controversial excise policy by calling for the rapid formation of a Public Accounts Committee (PAC). This move aims to investigate the CAG report that details significant financial losses and potential political collusion.
During a press conference, Devender Yadav, the Delhi Congress chief, criticized both the AAP and BJP for their purported roles in the policy's execution. Yadav cited a written complaint filed with evidence against the BJP, critiquing the inadequacy of the CAG report in addressing these concerns.
The call for transparency revolves around a reported Rs 2,000 crore loss. The Congress is demanding a public discussion and a thorough investigation into the excise policy, which they claim was manipulated to benefit certain political factions and businesses.
