CS initiates probe over alleged corruption in DJB following my complaint to CVC: Vijender Gupta
The BJP leader has claimed that once the investigation is completed, corruption involving Aam Aadmi Party leaders will be exposed to the people of Delhi.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday said the Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi has turned the “Delhi Jal Board (DJB) into a den of corruption over the 9 years, with corruption pervasive in every aspect of the Board’s work’’.
Sachdeva made the statement after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out raids at several locations in the national capital associated with AAP leaders and party associates in connection with an ongoing money laundering probe into alleged irregularities in awarding contracts of DJB.
“Raids by the ED at 12 locations associated with the Delhi Jal Board, including AAP MP ND Gupta and Chief Minister’s secretary Vibhav Kumar, have confirmed BJP’s allegations of corruption in the Board,” he said.

Attacking the AAP, Sachdeva further said, “Calling the ED raids or any other investigation as BJP-sponsored by AAP leaders is their desperation to escape from inquiry. Now the corruption of the Kejriwal government and AAP party has been fully exposed before the people of Delhi and the country.”
“The people of Delhi will teach a lesson not only to the AAP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections but also in the 2025 Assembly elections, rejecting Arvind Kejriwal’s corruption,’’ he said.
Echoing similar sentiments, Delhi BJP secretary Bansuri Swaraj said, “Corruption is continuously increasing in the AAP regime whether it’s the Delhi government or the Delhi Municipal Corporation, both have become synonyms for corruption.”
“Today, when the ED conducted raids for the investigation of the Delhi Jal Board scam in Delhi, the AAP spokespersons repeatedly held press conferences to divert attention from the board’s scam, but they could not succeed. Today, Delhi is demanding answers from them not only on the liquor scam but also on the Board scam.”
