The
latest letter by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to the
Lieutenant Governor of Delhi has exposed the conspiracy hatched to
prevent the frauds committed by private power distribution companies
from being made public.
The
ongoing CAG audit has made the discoms extremely nervous and after all
their desperate attempts to stall their account books from being
scrutinised have failed, they have hatched a conspiracy with active help
from the BJP and the Congress to delay the audit and frustrate the CAG.
It
is extremely shocking that the top CAG officials have been forced to
remind the LG and the Delhi administration run by him about their duty
to ensure that it is mandatory for the discoms to provide all their
account books to the auditors.
The
manner in which the discoms are hiding their account books and other
related data with active connivance from top Delhi administration, is a
clear and incriminating evidence about the attempts being made to force
the CAG to drop this important audit.
Already
the audit process has been delayed for more than six months and on the
other hand, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), is set
to announce a steep hike in the electricity tariffs anytime now.
This injustice being imposed on the people of Delhi will not be tolerated any further.
The
Aam Aadmi Party is of the firm view that there is no justification to
delay the CAG audit and till the time this process is going on, any
decision to hike the electricity tariff is nothing short cheating the
people residing in the national capital.
First
the people were given false excuses by the then Shiela Dikshit’s
Congress government for a decade that accounts of discoms cannot be
audited since they are privately controlled and later, a further
falsehood of discoms having obtained a stay from the court was floated.
The
AAP government called this bluff within 48 hours of coming to office
and asked the CAG to find out about the frauds committed by these
discoms.
Now,
it has been nearly six weeks since Narendra Modi’s BJP government is
controlling Delhi administration. The silence of BJP on the CAG audit
and power tariff hike is baffling.
Nobody
expects the Congress which systematically allowed the discoms to raise
electricity tariffs for a decade and loot the people of Delhi, to now
support the CAG audit, to now support this scrutiny.
The
BJP, which promised a 30% reduction in electricity tariffs needs to
break its silence on the fraud being committed on the people.
The
people of Delhi are eagerly awaiting the views of union power minister
Mr Piyush Goyal on the social media platforms on this subject.
The
AAP demands that the central government should direct the Delhi
administration to warn the discoms that their attempts to scuttle the
CAG audit will result in cancellation of their licences.
The
AAP will lead an unprecedented protest in the national capital in case
the DERC goes ahead with its plan to raise the electricity tariffs
without waiting for the findings of the CAG audit. (ENDS)
