Whistle Blower Sanjay Chaturvedi as Delhi ACB chief ?

Good news for all campaigners agaisnt corruption in public domain. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which swept the Delhi polls is mulling over appointing Sanjav Chaturvedi, a whistle blower and campaigner against corruption who was recently shunted out by the central government as vigilance chief of AIIMS hospital, as the head the Delhi anti-corruption bureau.

Chaturvedi, an Indian Forest Service officer, had been victimized for exposing corruption in the central government-run hospital. His appointment will be AAP's first big anti-corruption move after taking charge of Delhi on Saturday. The party says its first priority is to end corruption, especially bribe-taking by government officials."Sanjiv Chaturvedi is a very honest officer and it will be great if he joins," said AAP leader Manish Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister designate.

The party swept the Delhi election, winning an unbelievable and unprecedented 67 of 70 seats in the assembly and reducing the opposition BJP to three seats and virtually eclipsing the Congress from the political map of national capital.

In August, the health ministry removed Sanjiv Chaturvedi as the AIIMS vigilance chief saying he was not eligible for the post and the Chief Vigilance Commission had not cleared his appointment. Chaturvedi had reportedly initiated several investigations during his two years at the premier hospital. These included cases against officials who went on unexplained, illegal foreign trips on tax payers' money and one who allegedly had his pet dog operated upon at the AIIMS cancer centre.
