Ex Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is currently under the spotlight for the wrong reason. An FIR has been filed over the purchase of imported street lights before the 2010 Common Wealth Games by the Anti Corruption Bureau of Delhi. It is reportedly said that there was a loss of Rs.31 Crore caused due to the inefficiency of Ms. Dikshit.
The Shunglu Committee has also confronted the Ex CM for procedural violations. There are also complaints that Ms.Dikshit did not handle the CWG projects in a proper manner. All this has come in to light after the current Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal dug into the matter and ordered for a probe.
A couple of non-eligible companies were also given preference in this street light scam. In addition to this, close sources from Delhi say that the advertisement scam might also come into picture now. In this case, Ms. Dikshit is said to have used public money for her own benefit.
