AAP ‘mismanaged’ Covid funds: Delhi CM Gupta tables second CAG report
The AAP (Aam Aadmi Social gathering)-led Delhi authorities “grossly mismanaged” the Covid-19 pandemic response within the nationwide capital, utilising solely Rs 582.84 crore of the Rs 787.91 crore launched by the Central authorities, in line with Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, who has cited the most recent Comptroller and Auditor Normal (CAG) report.
The report, tabled by Gupta on Friday, claims severe lapses in monetary administration and healthcare infrastructure underneath the earlier AAP administration.
The efficiency audit covers the interval from 2016-17 to 2021-22 and presents an analysis of the state’s healthcare system, together with AAP’s flagship mohalla clinics and authorities hospitals.
The CAG report paints a grim image of a few of these clinics, which have been a cornerstone of AAP’s well being coverage. The audit reportedly discovered that:
-
21 clinics lacked bathroom services
-
41 clinics shut for 15–23 days a month
-
15 clinics didn’t have energy backup
-
6 clinics lacked primary check-up tables
-
12 clinics weren’t accessible to individuals with disabilities
-
Workers scarcity to the tune of 23 per cent docs, 16 per cent nurses, 37 per cent paramedics
The state of AYUSH dispensaries was no higher, with:
-
17 of 49 inspected dispensaries missing energy backup
-
7 dispensaries with out bathroom services
-
14 dispensaries missing consuming water
These findings have sparked recent controversy over AAP’s governance, with critics questioning the get together’s claims of revolutionising Delhi’s healthcare system, and Delhi minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa launching a scathing assault on the AAP administration, alleging large-scale corruption and mismanagement of healthcare funds.
“This report exposes how former CM Arvind Kejriwal looted Delhi within the title of hospitals and well being providers. There was no energy provide in mohalla clinics. The CAG report clearly states that Arvind Kejriwal is a kattar beimaan (hardcore dishonest individual),” Sirsa mentioned.
