Probe ‘scam’ carried out by Punjab Govt in purchase of COVID Fateh Kits, Raghav Chadha writes Punjab Lokpal
Massive scam orchestrated by incumbent Congress government writes Raghav Chadha
Chandigarh, June 8, 2021: Raghav Chadha, Co-in charge, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Punjab has written to Punjab Lokpal Justice Vinod Kumar Sharma (retired) urging the latter to probe on the alleged scam carried out by the Congress-led state government in the purchase of COVID-19 medical consumables and essential medical equipment kit, also popular as ‘COVID Fateh Kits’.
“It is not hidden from anyone that currently the state is reeling under the disastrous COVID-19 second wave and the mortality rate is among the highest in the country. To cause a further assault to this grave injury, an alleged massive scam is nefariously executed in the procedure of inviting, acquiring, and executing the bids of COVID-19 medical consumables and essential medical kits under the name and scheme of “COVID Fateh Kit” as purportedly there have been numerous overpriced bids accepted by the government to extract undue monetary gains from the said process leading to humungous losses to the state exchequer especially during these testing times of Covid-19 pandemic,” Raghav Chadha wrote in the letter.
“Allegedly, the entire corruption instance has schemed under the aid of the present Punjab government which can be duly corroborated with the hard facts and other evidence which has come to light via multi-layered inquiries made by public-spirited persons,” he added.
He urged Punjab Lokpal for immediate inquiry in the matter.
“It is humbly requested to yourself that an immediate and prompt cognizance must be taken and investigation must ensue to decipher the level of corruption as well as to anoint specific culpability to the delinquent persons (including the political executive) involved in this massive scam aimed at siphoning off the public money at the testing times of this deadly pandemic. It is humbly requested that the gloomy plight of the citizenry languishing due to rampant corruption and l the administration must be put to an end,” the AAP leader requested.
