Shunglu Panel Finds ‘Gross Abuse of Power’ by Kejriwal’s AAP Govt

The report was submitted to the L-G last year, but it surfaced in the public domain on Wednesday.

In a major setback to the Aam Aadmi Party government in New Delhi, the Shunglu Committee, formed by former Lt Governor Najeeb Jung to look into decisions taken by the government, has questioned several appointments made, including the appointment of Health Minister Satyendar Jain's daughter Soumya Jain in the Mohalla Clinic project.

Soumya, who is an architect, was made an adviser to Mission Director, Delhi State Health Mission. However she asserted her expertise with regard to Mohalla Clinics even though her CV does not support her claim. Second, the memorandum of Association of State Health Society (Delhi) and rules and bylaws do not support such appointment.
