C'Wealth Games scam: Venkaiah Naidu courts arrest demanding action on Shunglu committee report

Several BJP workers led by senior party leader Venkaiah Naidu today courted arrest demanding resignation of Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit and action against lieutenant-governor Tejinder Khanna who have been reportedly indicted by the Shunglu Committee.

"This Delhi government is corrupt and it is proved in the Shunglu report. We demand resignation from the chief minister and action against all those ministers and officials indicted in the report," Naidu told reporters before courting arrest near Delhi assembly.

He also demanded "strict action" against Khanna and flayed both Centre and the state government for "shielding" those involved in the scam.

"The prime minister had promised that he will take quick action against those who gulped crores of rupees in CWG preparations. But in Lok Sabha they are not tabling the report and the minister (Pawan Kumar Bansal) says the government is going through the report. We want to know for how long they will study it?" he asked.
