Turning up the heat against the Lieutenant Governor, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today claimed Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung "will" register an FIR against his deputy Manish Sisodia over some "fictitious" advertisement scam.
"Sources - LG getting FIR registered in ACB against Manish Sisodia on some fictitious ad scam. We welcome LG to do that," Kejriwal said in a tweet.
Interestingly, Mr Sisodia himself referred to a similar possibility during his intervention in the ongoing session of the Delhi Assembly. He also welcomed a CAG audit of the ads released by the AAP government.
In a series of tweets, Mr Kejriwal added Anti-Corruption Branch will also summon Transport Minister Gopal Rai and went on to ask him to present himself before the concerned authority before summons are issued.
"Sources - ACB will summon Gopal Rai. Gopal Rai ji, pl visit ACB urself on Mon rather than wait ACB summons. LG/ Modiji, we are strong people who tread on the path of truth. We are not scared of your cowardly threats," he tweeted.
The Delhi Assembly had yesterday formed a nine-member special inquiry committee to probe alleged irregularities in "restoring" the license of a fair price shop in Santnagar of North Delhi's Burari, including "serious" charges against Jung in connection with it.
