After DNA reported on Thursday that the North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor, Preeti Aggarwal, is facing allegations of large-scale corruption and a vigilance inquiry has been initiated against her, AAP demanded a CBI probe in the case.
Attacking the BJP-led municipal corporation, AAP leaders demanded Aggarwal's resignation so that an independent probe can be conducted. AAP also said that Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari must "apologise" to the public. The vigilance inquiry by the same civic body was started after a complaint was received against her by the offices of the President and the Lieutenant Governor (L-G). "The BJP has reached heights of corruption," said AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey. Aggarwal has denied the allegation.
