Rekha Gupta Criticizes AAP Over CAG Reports and Financial Mismanagement

In December last year, Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena had censured then chief minister Atishi, now the Leader of Opposition (LoP), for not presenting the reports in the House, for which he had also called for a special session on December 19-20.

In a letter to the erstwhile CM, the LG had emphasised the government’s constitutional duty to present statutory audit reports before the legislature.

Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, the head of BJP’s first government in the Union territory since 1998, has also accused the previous administration of “misusing” people’s “hard-earned” money, and said the AAP would have to “account for every penny”.

The three-day assembly session began on Monday, with new chief minister Rekha Gupta, her 47 BJP colleagues, and 22 AAP members, including LoP Atishi, taking oath as members of the 70-seat House.
