File burning sting: Exposes deep seated corruption, says Kejriwal

Ghaziabad: In the wake of a sting operation by a news channel which purportedly shows files being destroyed at the Delhi Secretariat, Chief Minister-designate Arvind Kejriwal today said the matter reflected large-scale corruption in certain departments even as he asked the Chief Secretary to take care of important documents.

Kejriwal said it was the Chief Secretary’s responsibility to take care of all the files before a new government took charge. Kejriwal will be sworn in as the Chief Minister tomorrow along with six other ministers.
