Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Saturday accused corruption by BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in procurement of PPE kits during the pandemic in 2020. Responding to the allegation, Mr. Sarma said that his wife had gifted PPE kits to the government and warned the AAP leader of a criminal defamation case.
Addressing media in Delhi, Mr. Sisodia alleged that the Assam government gave contracts for supplying PPE kits to Mr. Sarma’s wife’s company and son’s partner’s company at rates higher than market rates without tenders.
