    AAP MLA shows cash in Assembly, claims contractor bribed him

    AAP MLA shows cash in Assembly, claims contractor bribed him

    AAP MLA shows cash in Assembly, claims contractor bribed him
    AAP MLA Mohinder Goyal showed wads of cash in the Delhi Assembly, claiming that a contractor tried to bribe him and that his life was under threat

    Ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Mohinder Goyal stirred up the Delhi Assembly on Wednesday by showing wads of cash, claiming that a contractor attempted to bribe him at a government hospital and that his life was under threat. He alleged irregularities in the hiring of temporary workers at Rohini's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital and added that "powerful" people were trying to silence him.

    Why does this story matter?

    • The Delhi Assembly's session was adjourned for Wednesday and it was extended by one more day, as the previously three-day session witnessed repeated disruptions owing to allegations and counter-allegations by both, the opposition and ruling party.
    • The incumbent Delhi government is demanding the removal of Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar and Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, alleging them of acting as political vehicles for the BJP.

    Complained to CS, DCP, L-G but no action taken: Goyal

    Goyal asserted that he wasn't deterred by the threats and demanded action against the private contractor. He said he was given Rs. 3 lakh as a token and he was trying to draw attention to the issue of corruption since January 5. He said he complained to the deputy commissioner of police (DCP), chief secretary, and lieutenant governor (L-G), but no action was initiated.

    Goyal demanded an investigation into the matter

    Goyal demanded protection from government

    The MLA from Rithala said that the contractor tried to strike a deal with him. He demanded protection claiming a threat to his life, and said that he hoped the Delhi Assembly would take action based on his complaint. Speaker Ram Niwas Goel remarked that the matter was serious and referred it to the petitions committee of the House.

    Contractor taking bribes for hiring, not paying full salary: Goyal

    Goyal alleged that there's a tender open for recruiting nurses on a temporary basis, and the contractor is taking bribes to hire workers. Upon that, the staff isn't even receiving their full salary, indicating the commissions charged by the contractor. Last year, nurses at the GB Pant Hospital protested accusing the administration and senior nursing staff of demanding bribes from patients and employees.

    Speaker calls L-G a joker

    The Assembly session started with a discussion on the L-G's suspected role in the election of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) mayor. The speaker reportedly called the L-G a "joker". Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia stressed that the discussion regarding local governance was important. He underscored that the L-G wasn't a part of local governance and must respect the Constitutional traditions.
