Cong dismisses Opposition's demand for Dikshit's resignation

New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) Congress on Saturday dismissed
the Opposition's demand for Delhi Chief Minister Shiela
Dikshit's resignation in the wake of the CAG report on the
Commonwealth Games scam.
"We have not yet seen the entire report. But of whatever
we have seen, there is no such allegation that would attract
major action," party general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi told
reporters when asked about the BJP demand for Dikshit's
resignation.
Dwivedi emphasised that there was a Constitutional
process to be followed when such reports are tabled in the
Parliament.
"The report will go to the Public Accounts Committee
where all parties will have their representatives. Right now
there is nothing more to think on this," he said.
His remarks came close on the heels of the BJP President
Nitin Gadkari demanding Dikshit's resignation after she was
named in the CAG Report. Gadkari accused the Congress of
"maintaining double standards and going on the overdrive to
save her."
"In Karnataka when the Lokayukta in his report (on
illegal mining) indicted Yeddyurappa, the Congress demanded
his resignation despite us asking him to resign," Gadkari
said.
He said, "CAG is a statutory authority. When in its
report it makes one responsible for irregularities, then that
person should resign forthwith."
