Embarrassment for Kejriwal? Complaint lodged against Delhi CM's daughter for offering bribe
Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena chief Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga has filed a complaint to Delhi Police against Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal's daughter for offering bribe to a government officer. In his complaint Bagga has accused Kejriwal's daughter Harshita of obstructing a public servant from performing his duties efficiently by offering him bribe for her driving license.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Sunday that corruption had come down by "70-80%" after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to power in the Capital, and cited how his daughter tested an official with a 'bribe' offer.
"I will not say that we have completely ended corruption in Delhi but it has come down by 70-80%," Kejriwal said while addressing autorickshaw drivers at a public meeting in Burari in Outer Delhi. Fighting corruption was a major poll plank of the rookie party. On April 5, the AAP government re-launched its anti-corruption helpline 1031 and asked people to send sting videos of corrupt officials. The helpline has received over 1.25 lakh calls.
"The officer after reading her name and my name in father's section asked her if she was the daughter of chief minister of Delhi, and then entire department came forward to make her license. "This shows the level of corruption has come down in the city. Even auto drivers have given me feedback. Corrupt officers are afraid while the honest officers are moving fearlessly," Kejriwal said. The chief minister also asked auto drivers to work honestly and serve the people of the city.
"It is your responsibility to do public service. You have to work with honesty. Recently, DTC people went on a two-day strike. Most of the auto drivers were over-charging then. Do not take undue advantage when people are in crisis. "If you serve your passengers with honesty, then they will stand by you and ask for a hike in your fare. I will take care of your children, if you promise to serve the people of this city," Kejriwal said.
