In total, 14 such reports are scheduled to be presented before the House.
Regarding the CAG report on the liquor policy tabled on February 25, Speaker Vijender Gupta stated on Thursday that, as per established parliamentary procedure, the report will be thoroughly examined by the Public Accounts Committee of the Delhi Assembly. The committee is expected to submit its findings within three months.
Gupta remarked, “Honorable Members, as is evident, the CAG’s ‘Performance Audit Report on Regulation and Supply of Liquor in Delhi’ has highlighted serious irregularities in the implementation of the excise policy by the Aam Aadmi Party government. The report details how the public exchequer suffered significant losses, allowing private firms to profit illegally at the government’s expense.”
