CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab affairs co-incharge Raghav Chadha on Tuesday wrote a letter to Punjab lokpal, demanding a probe into the purchase of Covid kits in Punjab.
Chadha said the move was aimed at siphoning public money.
In his letter, Chadha stated the Congress government was using the disaster as an opportunity and embezzled crores of rupees in the purchase of kits meant for the treatment of Covid patients.
He stated it was not hidden from anyone that Punjab was reeling under the second wave of Covid-19.
“A massive scam has been nefariously executed in the procedure of inviting, acquiring and executing bids for Covid-19 medical consumables and essential medical equipment kit under the name and scheme of ‘Covid Fateh Kit’, as purportedly there have been numerous over-priced bids accepted by the government with a view to extract undue monetary gains from the said process,” wrote Chadha.
