New Delhi: The Congress Party on Monday Tuesday downplayed the Anti-Corruption Bureau's move to register an FIR against former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit in connection with the water tanker scam and said the 'politically motivated' inquiry is yet to come to its logistic conclusion.
Congress leader P.C. Chacko said that the grand old party welcomes the inquiry even if it is politically motivated.
"Any inquiry, which is legal investigation, we welcome that because they are giving more publicity even before they start the inquiry," Chacko told ANI.
"The ACB of Delhi has filed an FIR. It is just a routine procedure when the complaint reaches them. Whether it is a complaint, whether there is a scam or something illegal, that is to be decided by an inquiry. So, starting the inquiry is the news now, not the conclusion of the inquiry," he added.
ACB chief M.K. Meena had yesterday said that they had received a complaint from Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government got an inquiry conducted into the alleged irregularities that took place during the Congress government.
