He said his government is overhauling the state vigilance department which was lying in the dumps and made “non-existent” by the previous government.

“Out of 30 inspectors only 11 are posted. There are vacancies at every level involving ACP, DCP and SI posts. The department needs overhauling, we are trying to strengthen the department and identifying the honest officers,” he said.

Mr. Kejriwal charged that the cases raised by the Anti-corruption Department or the State Vigilance Commission were never taken up and brushed under the carpet.

On the CWG scam, the Chief Minister said, “In November 2010, I had prepared a 370-page report on CWG scam which contains evidence on corrupt practices during the Games. It doesn't mention any names. The report was based on newspaper reports.”

He said he is working towards launching a helpline to register corruption-related complaints and will ensure swift action on the complaints received.

Mr. Kejriwal said his party will contest the maximum number of seats in Lok Sabha polls, but he will not contest the general elections.
