Misleading Statement · Medium confidence

• CWG scam: Not done anything wrong, says Sheila Dikshit
• Delhi leader denies Commonwealth Games allegations

Evidence

Government's response

Analysis

On 3 August 2011, Sheila Dikshit said her government had not done anything wrong in Commonwealth Games projects. She said everything was done in the national interest and that her government had delivered on its responsibilities.

The CAG audit, as reported by the BBC and The Economic Times, found irregularities in the award of CWG contracts. It pointed to arbitrary and non-transparent selection of consultants, execution at exorbitant rates, and excess expenditure of Rs 31.07 crore on street lighting.

A Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch FIR was later filed in the streetlight project. No criminal conviction of Dikshit is recorded in the sources reviewed. The blanket denial is therefore rated misleading rather than false.
