New Delhi, Sep 16 (UNI) Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday claimed that a huge “misappropriation’’ found in the accounts of the six Delhi University (DU) colleges where Delhi government had initiated an independent audit.
Addressing an online press conference, Mr Sisodia, who is in isolation after he tested Covid-19 positive, said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government stands together with the teachers in this time of difficulty and it is important for everyone to understand how the DU administration has mismanaged funds given by Delhi government.
“The Delhi government has provided enough funds to these colleges for paying the salaries but in their initial observation report, the auditors have found that those funds are being directed elsewhere rather than paying the salaries to the teachers. Projected salaries for this academic year is 300 crores and Delhi government has provided sufficient funds to the colleges under the pattern of assistance,” he said.
