Bhagwant Mann further said, “A case came to my attention. In this case the minister of my government was involved. In a contract, the minister of my government was asking for one percent commission. Only I knew about this case. This case could have been suppressed. But to do so would be cheating. That’s why I am taking action against that minister. Action is being taken immediately. The minister’s name is Vijay Singla and a case is being registered against him.”
Vijay Singla admits his crime
Vijay Singla has confessed his crime. The CM said, “Vijay Singla did corruption in the Health Ministry. Vijay Singla has confessed his crime. I want to tell you all that the government of Aam Aadmi Party will keep zero tolerance against corruption. This work has been done for the second time after independence. Arvind Kejriwal had removed his minister in 2015 on charges of corruption.”
Let us tell you that Vijay Singla was made a minister after paying attention to the leaders who won the elections for the second time. Not only this, the Aam Aadmi Party government, which promoted the health model of Delhi, had given the responsibility of its most important ministry to Vijay Singla. But he had to lose his post within two months of becoming a minister.
