Credibility of Delhi government certification at a discount: BJP

New Delhi, June 2 (IANS) Soon after suspended AAP leader Kapil Mishra on Friday accused the Delhi government of certifying Chinese CNG kits as Canadian kits, the BJP attacked the AAP government, saying it damaged the "credibility" of certification by the Arvind Kejriwal government and sought an ACB probe.

"The allegation that Kejriwal government allowed Chinese CNG kits to be sold with Canadian labels is a very serious allegation, so Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) should take suo motu cognisance and start an investigation," Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Manoj Tiwari said here.

He also said that the case of Chinese Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) kits being labelled as Canadian was not only a matter of monetary misappropriation but actually it damaged the "credibility" of the Delhi government's certification.

"Thousands of vehicle owners installed the kit in their vehicles trusting the Delhi government certification and now they feel deceived by the Kejriwal government," Tiwari said.

Tiwari, who represents the Northeast Delhi constituency, also said that the CNG kit scam could prove to be a massive safety and security hazard.

"This CNG kit scam can prove to be a safety and security risk, as Chinese equipment are often considered to be lacking in international parameters," he said.

Tiwari's remarks came after the suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader accused the Delhi government of cheating people, alleging that "10,000 fake CNG kits" were installed in vehicles plying on Delhi roads.

Hitting out at the Delhi's Health Minister, Tiwari said: "It is shocking that this CNG kit scam too involves (Satyendar) Jain."

"After the exposure of his name in the scam involving labelling of Chinese CNG kits as Canadian and selling those above the market price, it was clear that Jain was the mastermind of scams of this government," he said, adding that Chief Minister Kejriwal and Jain are equal partners in all sins.
