AAP Stages Protest at LNJP Hospital 'Rs 650 Crore Health Scam'

The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday staged a protest at LNJP Hospital over an alleged Rs 650 crore scam in the Delhi government, questioning Chief Minister Rekha Gupta why the main accused was allowed to flee to Germany. 

"There was a health scam worth Rs 650 crore in Delhi. The main accused was not arrested by the ACB for a month, and he was allowed to flee to Germany. We kept saying it and kept holding press conferences, demanding the arrest of Rajiv Rangeela. 

They did not arrest him. Why not? Because they do not want to investigate,"



AAP Delhi President Saurabh Bharadwaj told PTI videos.

According to the ruling government, Dr Vatsala Agrawal committed a Rs 650 crore scam in the Directorate General of Health Services, Bharadwaj said, adding that "it was the Rekha Gupta government that appointed Agrawal by bypassing all the rules." 

"It bypassed those who were senior to her. It appointed her despite a vigilance inquiry," he added. Several party workers, including MLA Sanjeev Jha and Kuldeep Kumar, also joined the protest demanding answers from the government.
