Citing a CAG report highlighting "lapses" in the public distribution system, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today attacked Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Anil Baijal for "rejecting" the AAP government's proposed doorstep delivery and charged him with "protecting" ration mafia in Delhi.
After tabling the CAG report in the Delhi Assembly, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia too attacked Baijal and bureaucrats over findings of the report pertaining to municipal roads and the public distribution system.
Sharing an extract from the CAG report highlighting various loopholes, Kejriwal tweeted, "This is what LG trying to protect when he rejects doorstep delivery of rations. The entire ration system is in the grip of mafia protected by political masters. Doorstep delivery would have destroyed this mafia."
