Arvind Kejriwal targets Sheila Dikshit on power distribution:Complete Coverage

•  Arvind Kejriwal today(1, Feb 2013) targeted Sheila Dikshit Government(Delhi) alleging that  power distribution companies in the capital "fudged" their records and "committed fraud" to show losses in their revenue while actually making profits. 

•  Kehrival claimed that Delhiites are paying two times the electricity bills they should actually be paying .According to Kejrival Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) chief  Brijender Singh had concluded that power companies would make profits of Rs 3,577 crores which if passed on to the consumers would result in 23 per cent reduction in tarrifs. That's why he was to pass an order on May 5, 2010 to reduce tarrif  but Delhi Government wrote a letter to Brijender Singh on May 4 under pressure from distribution companies (discoms )and stopped him from issuing the order 
• For proof he circulated copies of the letter written by Joint Secretary (Power) S.M Ali on May 4 to Brijender Singh.
• He alleged that BSES Yamuna and BSES Rajdhani owned by Anil Ambani group were showing zero bills for a number of consumers including the Delhi Airport and the Delhi Jal Board.These were done to show losses.
• He attacked the opposition as well saying that the BJP did not raise these issues despite having proof by not doing justice to its role as Opposition party.
• Kejrival demanded that hat FIRs for alleged cheating be registered against the discoms and performance and financial audit of discoms by the CAG should be arranged.He also demanded to dismiss the current chairman of DERC.

RESPONSE

• Dikshit's office termed the allegations as "bunch of lies".
• Power Minister Harun Yusuf  in defense said "The tariff order he was referring to was not signed by all the three members of the DERC. So you cannot call it a tariff order. Even Delhi High court had held that it was not a DERC order,"
• Yusuf also said Berjinder Singh had made calculations on assumptions that power would be available from newly built power plants at low rates. But actually those plants could not generate power as per expectation due to various reasons.
• Yusuf also said Delhi Government did not have any problem with CAG audit of accounts of the distribution companies.
• "In last 10 years, there has been 83 per cent hike in power tariff against 137 per cent increase in power purchase cost. We always tried to be very transparent," said Yusuf.

Kejrival revealed Black Swiss Money:Full report

 Arvind Kejriwal on Friday revealed politicians and industrialists who have stashed black money in a foreign bank. This is his fifth revelation. 

He alleged Mukesh and Anil Ambani, Congress MP from Unnao Annu Tandon, the Dabur family and Naresh Goyal,founder of Jet Airways, of  having accounts in HSBC Bank’s Geneva branch.

• He even accused the HSBC Bank of being involved in money laundering and demanded strict action against it for encouraging kidnapping, corruption and terrorism in the country.
• Kejriwal also raised questions about president Pranab Mukherjee, who, as Union finance minister, planned amnesty for all 700 Swiss account holders.
• The records(/proofs) were of December 2006 when details of these accounts were reportedly leaked by an insider to the French and German governments.
• According to Kejrival the government did not touch any of the “big names” on the list and only about 100-150 were raided, he alleged. “Why weren’t the others raided by the IT department and why didn’t the government seek all their accounts?” Kejriwal questioned.
• Kejirval also alleged that Annu Tandon(Congress MP), whose husband Sandeep Tandon worked closely with the Reliance Group before he passed away, had accounts in HSBC’s Geneva branch. Sandeep was a former IRS officer who raided the Reliance Group for alleged tax evasion in the 1980s. He however, himself joined the reliance group after resigning from service and rose through the ranks rapidly to become a trusted lieutenant of Dhirubhai Ambani.
•  Annu Tandon's affidavit filed with the Election Commission(EC) of India before the 2009 general elections does not show any such account(i.e account is hidden from EC) .

All the alleged personalities and companies have rejected the Kejrival's claims.

Editor's VIEW:
Kejrival's allegation's or replies(/defense) of alleged personalities is not going to give any conclusion to these issues. We cannot erase corruption by verbal fights. Without investigation allegations lose their grace, so we request Supreme Court to interfere and give order for investigation|
