Delhi Transport Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said: “We have gone through the CAG report; neither CM Sheila Dikshit nor any political functionary has been indicted by CAG,” Lovely said, adding the CAG had in fact praised the Delhi govt for infrastructure and development work. He said there was “unnecessary politicisation of the CAG report” by the Opposition.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Kapil Sibal said the CAG report does not indict the Prime minister's Office. The PMO had been dragged in with suggestions that it overruled dissenting voices from within the government to appoint jailed leader Suresh Kalmadi as Games chief.
Union Minister Ambika Soni clarified “there is a reference in the CAG report to the PMO but no indictment of any high office”.
Sibal also said action would be taken against anybody, including Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, if any wrong has been done. “But there is a process,” he added.
Sibal, Ambika Soni and Salman Khurshid also appealed to the media to exercise self-restraint.
Noting the government has gone through the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), Arvinder Singh Lovely said it has neither indicted Dikshit nor any other political head and has rather praised the city government on infrastructure development work.
“We have gone through the report. Nowhere in the report has the chief minister or any other minister or any public functionary been named. Nobody has been indicted. No mention of names. Where is the indictment of the chief minister?
