New Delhi: In a startling disclosure, Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged Reliance Industries of creating artificial shortage of gas and conspiring to raise its price in the entire country.
“I have ordered the anti-corruption branch to lodge an fir against Mukesh Ambani and former Oil Minister Murli Deora and present Oil Minister Veerappa Moily in connection with a complaint received by the Delhi government against the gas deal with Reliance,†said Kejriwal. FIR will also be lodged against V K Sibbal, former DG Hydrocarbons.
The Delhi CM said there was a move to raise the price of gas from the existing $4 per unit to $8 per unit from April 1. If the rates are increased, it will lead to chaos as prices of everything will go up.
Kejriwal said, he would be writing to the Prime Minister to put on hold the order to increase the price of gas till the probe by anti-corruption branch was over. In his letter, he will also request the PM to ensure all concerned ministries cooperate in the probe.
