AAP govt flouted norms in allotting land for its office: Maken

Ajay Maken alleges that AAP allocated a land for its party office on 206, Rouse Avenue

New Delhi, Dec 16: Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken on Friday alleged Aam Aadmi Party of going "beyond its authority" and allotting a land for its party office on 206, Rouse Avenue.

"The power of land is a reserved subject and the decision is clearly beyond the powers of Delhi government. Despite Urban Development Department suggesting the intervention of Lt Governor of Delhi, the AAP-led government went ahead just with the Cabinet decision," he said.

Maken said he had also written a letter to LG Najeeb Jung requesting him for a CBI enquiry into the issue.

"Besides seeking an enquiry, we have also requested the Lt Governor to make some revelations on Shunglu Committee report and not to sit on it," he said.

"If the same happens, even the BJP government will try to acquire corporation lands as the civic bodies are ruled by the BJP," he said.
