Kejriwal Faces Allegations Over Goa Election Funding

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is at the center of a controversy involving alleged financial misconduct during the recent Goa elections. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has put forth claims suggesting that Kejriwal offered Rs 90 lakhs to each candidate across Goa's 40 constituencies as part of the electoral campaign.

According to the CBI, the funds were reportedly managed under the supervision of Durgesh Pathak, an MLA from Delhi. The agency asserts that all expenditures for the Goa elections were executed following Pathak's directives. Additionally, the CBI's investigation suggests that the financial resources for these expenditures were traced back to the South Group.

These allegations have significant implications, highlighting potential irregularities in the electoral process. The CBI’s findings are based on what they describe as substantial evidence pointing to improper financial activities associated with the election campaign.

The matter has sparked a broader discussion about election financing and transparency, raising questions about the ethical practices of political campaigns. As the investigation continues, scrutiny over the financial dealings related to the Goa elections remains intense.
