Kapil Mishra accuses Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal of Rs 300 crore scam in medicine purchase.

In yet another salvo at  Arvind Kejriwal, sacked AAP minister Kapil Mishra on Saturday accused Delhi chief minister of Rs. 300 crore worth scam in the health care department.

Mishra said three big scams were perpetrated in the health sector by the AAP government, including one of more than Rs 300 crore in the procurement of medicines.

The Kejriwal government improperly procured medicines, overpaid for ambulances, and violated rules in transfers and appointments too, Mishra told reporters.

"The government bought medicines worth crores of rupees six months in advance, even when hospitals said they don't need them. Three godowns were built to store the medicines, which have been wasted," said Mishra.

He added that there is also discrepancy in the prices of hundred ambulances that were bought, saying the actual cost of an ambulance is Rs.11 lakh but the government bills show that these ambulances were bought for Rs. 23 lakh.

Mishra also claimed that many junior doctors were promoted superseding many seniors, adding that there is an attempt to divert the blame from Delhi Health Minister and Health Secretary to Chief Secretary.

Mishra informed that he will go and file First Information Report (FIR) on the basis of the evidences and will take all these evidences to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal.
