Congress Accuses AAP of ₹382 Crore Health Sector Corruption in Delhi

Citing a purported CAG report, Congress alleges misuse of funds and delays in hospital projects under AAP's governance.

  • Congress claims a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report highlights a ₹382 crore scam in Delhi's health infrastructure during AAP's tenure.
  • Ajay Maken alleges significant cost overruns and delays in the construction of three hospitals, which he says were initiated during Congress rule.
  • The CAG report purportedly reveals that funds sanctioned for hospital infrastructure were underutilized, with ₹2,623 crore lapsing between 2016-2022.
  • Maken points to severe shortages in medical staff, facilities, and equipment across Delhi government hospitals, citing inspection findings from the CAG.
  • AAP denies the allegations, accusing Congress of echoing BJP's claims, and questions the authenticity of the purported CAG report, which has not been publicly released.
