The latest complaint pertains to the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor not honouring summonses number 4 to 8 sent by the federal probe agency.

Court summons Delhi CM Kejriwal on March 16 after fresh complaint by ED

The latest complaint pertains to the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor not honouring summonses number 4 to 8 sent by the federal probe agency.

A Delhi court on Thursday issued summons to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on a fresh complaint by the ED for allegedly evading its summonses in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Divya Malhotra directed Kejriwal to appear before the court on March 16.
The Enforcement Directorate filed the complaint before the court on Wednesday, seeking prosecution of Kejriwal for skipping multiple summonses issued to him in the case.
The latest complaint pertains to the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor not honouring summonses number 4 to 8 sent by the federal probe agency under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the ED said.
The ED had earlier moved a local court seeking Kejriwal's prosecution for not attending the first three summonses issued to him in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

 According to Kejriwal, the proposed 'one time settlement scheme' for redressing inflated water bills was being stalled by officers, under alleged threats from the BJP. 

'Serious constitutional crisis' in Delhi: Kejriwal slams BJP over water bill settlement scheme

Kejriwal claimed a "serious constitutional crisis" has arisen in Delhi in which the officers have given in writing in a way that they would not work.

According to Kejriwal, the proposed 'one time settlement scheme' for redressing inflated water bills was being stalled by officers, under alleged threats from the BJP.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said a "serious constitutional crisis" has arisen in the national capital as officers are saying they will not work because of alleged "threats and pressure" from the BJP.
Alleging that proposed 'one time settlement' scheme for redressing inflated water bills was stalled by officers, Kejriwal, replying to a calling attention motion in Delhi Assembly, urged Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to direct the officers to implement the scheme or take action against them if they refused it.
No immediate reaction was available from the officers concerned over charges of obstructing the scheme.
Kejriwal also warned that a massive agitation will be launched if the scheme was not soon implemented in the city.
The Delhi government will ensure implementation of the &lsquo;one-time settlement scheme' of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) at all costs, he said, alleging that earlier also the BJP-controlled bureaucracy had obstructed Mohalla Clinics, CCTVs, medicines for hospitals, 'Farishtey' scheme, and DTC pensions.
Kejriwal, who is also the AAP convener, said in any other state, officers creating hurdle before any scheme would be suspended immediately.
&ldquo;Although Delhi is half a state, we feel it's not even 5 per cent a state. If Delhi were a full state, no officer would have dared to ignore orders from the chief minister or ministers. They would have been immediately suspended," he said.
Kejriwal claimed a "serious constitutional crisis" has arisen in Delhi in which the officers have given in writing in a way that they would not work.
&ldquo;If they do not work, then how will the government run, can the government run even for two days? Does this suit the Central government, does it suit the BJP? he asked.
"The BJP feels happy if the people of Delhi are sad or ill. BJP people want to destroy Delhi,&rdquo; he charged.
Kejriwal asked Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri to leave aside politics and get the scheme passed through the help of the LG.
"You will get all the credit. I will shout from the top of the Red Fort that BJP people have done this, vote for BJP people. You are doing it for votes. (I know) there is no other reason, take the votes. We don't want votes," said the chief minister.
Earlier, Bidhuri alleged that first inflated bills were sent by the government and then a scheme of waiver was announced by it.
Bidhuri also questioned seriousness of the government to implement the 'one time settlement' scheme.
"While a calling attention motion has been presented in the assembly on the issue, concerned minister and DJB chairperson Atishi is not present in the House. The truth is that the government itself has no intention of settling the bills," Bidhuri charged while questioning how in the first place inflated bills were sent to the consumers.
Kejriwal said there were about 27 lakh consumers of DJB, out of which over 10 lakh (40 per cent consumers) are not paying their water bills.
&ldquo;Bribery is rampant to rectify bills. The biggest reason for pending bills is that during COVID-19, meter readers did not take readings of water meters for many months...many bills were not generated, and if bills were generated, they were based on average estimates. Fake readings were also entered," he said.
He hit out at the BJP accusing its leaders for the situation and added, "That is why they are in such a condition that sometimes they get three seats (in Assembly) and sometimes eight." Kejriwal said that the 'one time settlement' scheme was passed by DJB in June 2023, but the officials have "refused" to implement it.
&ldquo;The officers said we are being threatened that if you pass this scheme for the people of Delhi, then we will be suspended, fired from the job. We will be sent to jail, and ED and CBI will be after us. Sir, if you ask us, we will resign from the job, but we cannot pass this scheme,&rdquo; Kejriwal claimed.
The Delhi Assembly passed a resolution with voice vote presented by AAP MLA Rajendra Pal Gautam on the calling attention motion on the issue.
"The House believes that the opposition party BJP, which exercises direct control over the officers.... for narrow, short-term and illegitimate political gains, is threatening the officers to prevent the popular government of Delhi from implementing such a hugely necessary and pro-public scheme," read the resolution.

It said that the DJB has approved the scheme that would recast water bills based on an average minimum of 2 &lsquo;OK&rsquo; water meter readings. This scheme would bring relief to the people of Delhi and unlock revenue for the Board, it added.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena recommended a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the Delhi Excise Policy, 2021-22 over alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses. 

After Delhi LG calls for probe into excise policy, Kejriwal claims Sisodia to be arrested in 'fake case'

The LG has reportedly found "substantive indications" of "financial quid pro quo" at the "top political level", wherein the excise minister "took and got executed major decisions in violation of statutory provisions".

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that his deputy Manish Sisodia will be framed in a "fake case" by the CBI and arrested in a few days.&nbsp;
His remarks came after Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) V K Saxena recommended a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the Delhi Excise Policy, 2021-22 over alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses.&nbsp;
Sisodia heads the excise department of the Delhi government.&nbsp;
At an online press briefing, Kejriwal also said he has known Sisodia for 22 years and he is a "hardcore honest" man.&nbsp;
"I came to know that a case has been sent to the CBI against Manish Sisodia and the agency is going to arrest him in a few days. It is a completely fake case. There is not even an iota of truth in this case," the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.&nbsp;
Kejriwal also said AAP leaders are not afraid of going to jail as they have done no wrong.&nbsp;
At a press briefing, AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj alleged that the CBI probe was recommended by the LG at the behest of the BJP-led Centre to implicate Sisodia in a fake case and keep the Kejriwal-led party at bay in the upcoming Assembly polls.&nbsp;
He also alleged that the Centre has been making efforts to "somehow" implicate all the ministers in the Delhi government in fake cases as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scared of the growing popularity of the AAP and Kejriwal.&nbsp;
"The Centre will try to implicate more of our ministers. It has asked officials to find out anything, true or false, and launch a probe so that the AAP can be kept confined to Delhi and Punjab," Bhardwaj said replying to a question.&nbsp;
He, however, asserted that nothing will come of it and people will eventually understand everything and wonder why Modi is after AAP leaders.&nbsp;
Referring to the arrest of Sateyndar Jain by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering case, Bhardwaj alleged that the Centre has been making efforts to "somehow" implicate the ministers in the Delhi government in fake cases since the AAP's stupendous victory in the Punjab Assembly polls earlier this year.&nbsp;
The CBI inquiry was recommended on the basis of a report filed by the Delhi chief secretary earlier this month, showing prima facie violations of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991, the Transaction of Business Rules (ToBR), 1993, the Delhi Excise Act, 2009 and the Delhi Excise Rules, 2010, officials said.&nbsp;
According to sources, the LG has found "substantive indications" of "financial quid pro quo" at the "top political level", wherein the excise minister "took and got executed major decisions in violation of statutory provisions" and notified the excise policy that had "huge financial implications".&nbsp;

As hundred of doctors have lost their lives while serving in hospitals amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking that the country&rsquo;s highest civilian award,&nbsp;Bharat Ratna should be given this year to all doctors, nurses and paramedics.&nbsp;
In the letter, Kejriwal said many doctors and nurses sacrificed their lives fighting Corona. If we honour them with Bharat Ratna, then it will be a true tribute to them.&nbsp;
Lakhs of doctors and nurses served people selflessly without worrying about their lives and families. There can be no other better way (than honouring them with Bharat Ratna) to thank and honour them, the Delhi CM wrote in the letter in Hindi.
