The Delhi government had indulged in corruption of more than Rs 7,000 crore in the Commonwealth Games. Institutions like CAG, CBI, CVC, CPWD and High Court have confirmed it. In spite of this, neither the central government had ordered any inquiry nor the Chief Minister was ready for a probe, he said.
"If the Chief Minister has any sense of morality and respect for the Constitution, then she should resign from her post and renounce politics,"Harsh Vardhan said in a statement.
Even the Lokayukta has written to President Pranab Mukherjee and his predecessor Pratibha Patil, requesting them to caution Dikshit against making false promises in future for the sake of getting political mileage, he added.
Vardhan said the government had promised supply of food grains to 72 lakh people under the Food Security Scheme. The CM should state where are the food grains, he added.
"In spite of this, the Chief Minister and her Cabinet colleagues have openly been saying that they have not committed any bungling. Isn't the Congress government misleading the people of Delhi?" he asked.
