New Delhi: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India will conduct a special audit into the alleged administrative and financial irregularities in the renovation of the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official residence, officials at the LG House said on Tuesday.
According to officials, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs had recommended a special audit by the CAG following a letter dated May 24 from LG VK Saxena, who had pointed out “gross and prima facie financial irregularities” in the reconstruction of the Chief Minister’s official residence in the name of “addition or alteration”.
The BJP earlier claimed that about ₹45 crore was spent on the “beautification” of the Delhi Chief Minister’s official residence in the city’s Civil Lines area and demanded his resignation on “moral” grounds. (Agencies)
