The Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India on Friday dismissed media reports on the transfer of its officials, saying that they were baseless and incorrect.
Taking note of the news reports about the transfer of CAG officials who had “exposed corruption” in the Ayushman Bharat scheme and the Dwarka Expressway project, the Congress had on Wednesday accused the Union government of intimidating the officials, and had demanded their reinstatement.
In a statement, the CAG’s office said: “To set the record straight, matters of transfer and postings are a matter of administrative convenience and to read ulterior motives into these is highly presumptuous.”
