Opening a new front against outside supporter Congress, Delhi Government today wrote to the President seeking action against former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for alleged irregularities in regularising unauthorised colonies in the metropolis.


The move comes after the President sought Delhi government's comments on the report of the Lokayukta in which Justice Manmohan Sarin in November 2013 had ruled that granting of provisional certificate for regularisation of unauthorised colonies in 2008 by Dikshit was done to gain political mileage in the elections.

During the subsequent hearings, the Lokayukta also had observed that the conditions of the Supreme Court order have not been complied with during the issuance of the provisional certificates prior to the election and sent the report to the President. A complaint regarding the matter was filed by BJP leader Harsh Vardhan in 2010
