Mr. Bhagwant Mann, the Chief Minister of Punjab, removed Mr. Vijay Singla, the Health Minister of Punjab.
On the 24th of May, Mr. Bhagwant Mann announced that the Aam Aadmi Party led Punjab Government is sacking Mr. Vijay Singla from the Cabinet amid corruption charges.
It is to be known that Mr. Vijay Singla allegedly used to demand 1% commission for passing tenders in the Health sector projects.
Notably, a week back Mr. Bhagwant Mann received a complaint against Mr. Vijay Singla. Acting upon the complaint, an operation was then executed with help from a concerned government official, which clearly revealed that the Minister and those close to him were demanding a one per cent commission. After call recordings and other evidence were collected, Mr Mann took action and also warned officials that corruption will not be tolerated.
After announcing the same, Mr. Bhagwant Mann posted a Twitter video message and said, “I am taking strict action against the minister. I am removing him from the cabinet.”
The State Government also directed the Punjab Police to file a case against Mr. Vijay Singla and launch an investigation.
