New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijendra Gupta on Thursday said that the Central Vigilance Commission has taken cognizance of a complaint of alleged corruption in Delhi Jal Board.

He also claimed that the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had directed Delhi's Chief Vigilance Officer to conduct a "thorough investigation" into the matter.

Gupta had earlier this month written to the CVC demanding a probe into alleged financial irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board under the AAP government.

Gupta had claimed in his letter that no account of Rs 28,400 crore allocated to the board since the AAP came to power in 2015 was available as the agency did not maintain a balance sheet.

It was also alleged that the balance sheet was not maintained to prevent a CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) audit of the board's expenses.

AAP said in a statement that its government in Delhi is "completely honest" and dedicated to providing the best health care and education system in the country.

"No matter how many frivolous investigations the BJP may launch against AAP, it will always get a unanimous answer from the people - that the AAP government is completely honest," it claimed.

The party said the BJP is now "creating new stories" to save face but the people of Delhi will give them a befitting reply in the upcoming elections.
