Whole nation today feels proud of AAP https://t.co/glg6LxXqgs According to Punjab CMO, Singla was fired after he confessed to demanding 1 per cent commission from officials for contracts. "I am taking strict action against that minister, sacking him from the cabinet and directing the Police to register a case against him.
That Minister is Vijay Singla. He had indulged in corruption in his department, and he also confessed to it. AAP has a zero-tolerance policy against corruption," said Mann earlier in the day. "A case had come to my knowledge, a minister of my government was demanding a 1 per cent commission for every tender.
I took it very seriously. Nobody knew about it, had I wanted it could have brushed it under the carpet. But I would have broken the trust of people who trusted me," Punjab CM added.
