Arvind Kejriwal profiting from Auto-Rickshaw sales, alleges Swaraj India

The Swaraj India has also alleged that Kejriwal earned a huge sum of money in the sale of auto-rickshaws in the national capital.

New Delhi, Nov 30: Yogendra Yadav led Swaraj India has accused Delhi Chief Minister and Aam aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal of having an unholy nexus with the auto finance mafia in Delhi. The Swaraj India has also alleged that Kejriwal earned a huge sum of money in the sale of auto-rickshaws in the national capital.

The party has demanded that a CBI inquiry be ordered into the "auto scam" and asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to come clean on the issue.

"If an unemployed person decides to buy an auto rickshaw, he is made to pay anywhere between Rs 4,50,000 and Rs 4,70,000. Whereas the fact remains that the actual cost of a new auto is Rs 1,85,000, which goes on record as white money," party spokesperson Anupam claimed.

He alleged that under the "nexus" between the "financemafia and the government", an old auto is first transferred to some other license holder before it is scrapped.

"The Transport Department then issues a no-dues certificate on verifying the scrapping certificate. Delhi government's transport department issues the LoI (Letter of intent) for buying the auto. The complete process followed is in clear violation of Supreme Court order.

"Almost all autos in Delhi are sold on finance, where the financiers play the role of coordinators of this 'auto scam'. In this nexus, orders of the Supreme Court are also brazenly violated," he claimed.
