Swati Maliwal attend Delhi CM
Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal attended the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta. Maliwal also criticized Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP government and demanded a proper inquiry into corruption charges against the former Delhi CM.
While speaking to ANI, Maliwal said, “How shameful it is that Arvind Kejriwal betrayed the movement he started – he became the CM with his fight against corruption and had started such a massive movement. CAG reports from 2016 have not been tabled in Vidhan Sabha till date. So, I want those reports to be tabled, all the corruption be revealed and strict action be taken.”
Additionally, she asked the newly elected state government to clean the Yamuna River as soon as possible.
“I appeal to the govt to clean river Yamuna at the earliest. It is sad that Yamuna has been reduced to a drainage in last 10 years. It is important to rejuvnate it,” Maliwal said.
