Parvesh Verma Says BJP To Set Up SIT to Probe Alleged Corruption in Delhi

In a significant political development following the 2025 Delhi Assembly Election, the BJP having secured a victory in the national capital after a 27-year hiatus, has announced plans to establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to delve into allegations of corruption against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. BJP leader Parvesh Verma has stated that this move is part of their commitment to fulfill promises made to the electorate of Delhi.

The BJP’s triumph in the election appears to be driven by public discontent over alleged corruption, inefficiencies, and broken promises by the AAP. The formation of the SIT is aimed at probing these allegations, particularly focusing on what BJP describes as “corruption under the Aam Aadmi Party government.”

Key points from BJP’s agenda post-victory include:

• SIT on Corruption: The SIT’s primary role will be to investigate any malpractices during AAP’s tenure, with a special focus on financial mismanagement and policy implementation that allegedly led to revenue losses for the state.
• Public Welfare Schemes: BJP has promised to continue and expand welfare schemes like providing Rs 2,500 to women, which was part of their campaign promises, signaling their intent to address public welfare directly.
• Environmental Concerns: Delhi’s environmental issues, notably pollution and the condition of the Yamuna River, are on BJP’s radar. They have committed to initiatives aimed at reducing pollution and enhancing the city’s green spaces.
• Infrastructure and Traffic: Reducing traffic congestion and improving public infrastructure are also highlighted as priorities, aiming to make Delhi a city to be proud of.

The move to set up an SIT has sparked a variety of reactions. Critics of the BJP argue that this might be more of a political vendetta than a genuine anti-corruption drive. However, supporters see it as a necessary step to ensure transparency and accountability in governance, especially after years of AAP’s rule, which was marred by several controversies including the liquor policy scandal.

As Delhi looks forward to a new administrative chapter, the outcomes of these investigations could significantly impact the political landscape. The BJP’s focus on anti-corruption, alongside its development promises, will be closely watched by both residents and political analysts alike.
