New Delhi: Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders had cited a Transparency International report to claim that corruption had come down in Delhi during his tenure.
But the global anti-corruption organisation has denied Aam Aadmi Party's claims that corruption had come down during Kejriwal's 49-day tenure.
On Monday AAP leader Shazia Illmi said that corruption had declined while showing a Transparency International report to buttress her claims.
Transparency International has issued a press release denying any report on corruption in Delhi. "This in reference to news item published in the news paper Hindustan Times published on page number 2 Hindustan times Delhi edition titled "Corruption down in Delhi Ilmi quotes international report". The information shared by Ms Shazia Ilmi is factually incorrect .We have not undertaken any study on corruption in Delhi and so there is no question of any such published or unpublished report," said Transparency International India Executive Director Ashutosh Kumar Mishra.
Kejriwal, too, during a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) meet on Monday claimed that Transparency International was set to release a report which said that corruption has reduced in Delhi.
