Raghav Chadha, AAP state co-in charge
Chandigarh, June 8
AAP state affairs co-in charge and Delhi MLA Raghav Chadha today wrote to the Lokpal, Punjab, demanding immediate cognisance of the alleged scam in acquiring ‘Fateh’ kits.
In the letter, Chadha alleged the Congress government sought “opportunity in disaster” by purportedly embezzling crores of rupees in the purchase of kits used for treating Covid patients.

He stated the state was already reeling under the second wave and the mortality rate was among the highest in the country. “Adding assault to injury, an alleged scam is executed in the procedure of inviting, acquiring and executing bids for ‘Fateh kit’. Numerous over-priced bids were purportedly accepted by the government with a view to extract undue monetary gains from the process, leading to huge losses to the state exchequer,” wrote Chadha.
He said while the government was expected to be the caretaker of its people, the Congress was busy cashing in on the crisis. — TNS
