In the backdrop of the ongoing probe in the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam, Delhi water minister Kapil Mishra on Monday launched a website with a timer that, he said, will keep ticking till BJP leader Vijender Gupta ensures the arrest of former chief minister Sheila Dikshit.
The portal nojailnomooch.com, “prepared by volunteers”, was launched at the Delhi Secretariat. During an Assembly debate last month, Mr Kejriwal had challenged Mr Gupta after the Delhi government had recommended either a CBI, or anti-corruption branch probe in the case.
Mr Mishra said he will expose the conspiracy that was allegedly afoot to save Ms Dikshit in the next three days. The countdown will continue for the next 32 days, till August 13, when the deadline set by Mr Kejriwal for Mr Gupta will end, Mr Mishra said. Mr Gupta, the Leader of the Opposition, termed it as “drama”.
“The BJP kept saying that we are not sending the report of the fact-finding committee into the tanker scam to the ACB. Then when we finally did, he should also keep his commitment. Why are the L-G and Mr Gupta trying to save Sheilaji ” Mr Mishra asked.
The website may have been launched from a government platform, but it has been developed by volunteers and did not cost a penny, Mr Mishra claimed. “Mr Kejriwal now wants to dilute the impact of corruption charges in '400-crore water scam so that the whole matter becomes a joke,” Mr Gupta said.
