AAP MLA shows wads of cash in Assembly, claims hospital staff tried to bribe him

AAP MLA shows wads of cash in Delhi Assembly, alleges corruption at hospital

The MLA further said he was not deterred by the threats and demanded action against the private contractor.

Ruling AAP MLA Mahender Goyal created a flutter in the Delhi Assembly on Wednesday, showing wads of cash inside the House and claiming a private contractor at a city government hospital tried to bribe him.
Complaining about irregularities in the hiring of temporary staff at the Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini, Goyal claimed there was a threat to his life from "powerful" people trying to silence him.
The MLA further said he was not deterred by the threats and demanded action against the private contractor.
"I need protection. My life is in danger," the Rithala MLA told the House.
Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said the matter was serious and referred it to the petition committee of the House.&nbsp;

A security guard was killed after allegedly being shot by an unidentified man during a robbery attempt in north Delhi's Wazirabad area, police said on Tuesday.
They said the incident took place at an ICICI Bank ATM kiosk near Jagatpur flyover and the matter was reported to the police around 5 pm.
The victim has been identified as Jai Singh (55).
The incident occurred when the 4.50-pm cash van arrived at the ATM to deposit cash at the kiosk. Just then, a person came from behind and fired at the cash van guard and fled with the money, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi.
It is suspected that the accused took off with an estimated Rs 8 lakh, he said.
The injured guard was taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
Multiple teams have been formed and footage from CCTV cameras in the area are being scanned to identify the accused and ascertain the sequence of events, the police said.

India's deployment of cash transfer scheme a logical marvel: IMF

Stating how there were specific direct cash trasfers for women and farmers he said perhaps the interesting part is that in these examples, there is a lot of technological innovation.


Stating how there were specific direct cash trasfers for women and farmers he said perhaps the interesting part is that in these examples, there is a lot of technological innovation.

India&rsquo;s deployment of a direct cash transfer scheme and other similar social welfare programmes is a &ldquo;logical marvel&rdquo;, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Wednesday.
&ldquo;From India, there is a lot to learn. There is a lot to learn from some other examples around the world. We have examples from pretty much every continent and every level of income. If I look at the case of India, it is actually quite impressive,&rdquo; Paolo Mauro, Deputy Director of the Fiscal Affairs Department at the IMF, told reporters at a news conference here.
&ldquo;In fact, just because of the sheer size of the country, it is a logical marvel how these programmes that seek to help people who are at low-income levels reach literally hundreds of millions of people,&rdquo; he said in response to a question on the impressive direct cash transfer programme being successfully implemented by the Indian government.
There are programmes that target specifically women. There are programmes that target the elderly and farmers. Perhaps the interesting part is that in these examples, there is a lot of technological innovation, he said.
&ldquo;In the case of India, one thing that is striking is the use of the unique identification system, the Aadhaar,&rdquo; Mauro said.
&ldquo;But in other countries, also, there is greater use of sending money through mobile banking to people who actually do not have a whole lot of money, but they have a cell phone,&rdquo; Mauro said.
&ldquo;So being somewhat innovative in identifying people, in processing their applications for transfers through digital means, deploying funds through, again, mobile banking. This is something that countries can learn from each other. We try also here to be a little bit of a convening place where people can compare these types of experiences,&rdquo; he said.
Observing that the IMF is collaborating with India on the application of new technologies, Vitor Gaspar, Director of the Fiscal Affairs Department, said that India is &ldquo;one of the most inspiring examples of the application of technology to solve very complicated issues of targeting support to the people who need it most&rdquo;.
The IMF has also been working with many African countries in the area of government technology. &ldquo;And also in Africa, there are very many examples of innovation, which is relevant and inspiring as well. So, the exchange of experiences that Paolo was talking about is something that we are trying to organise, and the amount of learning that can take place is actually quite surprising. There is a lot going on in India, in Africa, and in other parts of the world,&rdquo; Gaspar said.

Unexpected incidents keep on happening in our daily lives but the ones which bring a smile to the face are the best and most unforgettable ones. And what if you get some cash luckily that doesn't belong to you.
One such incident has been reported in Maharashtra’s Nagpur district. A man went to the ATM of a private bank in Khaparkheda town to withdraw ₹500 but instead of getting 5 notes of ₹100, he got 5 notes of ₹500 so in total ₹2500. The man got surprised when he got ₹2,500. He repeated the process to try his luck and got the same results.
After the news surfaced a huge crowd gathered outside the ATM to try the same thing. After some time local police reached the spot to shut down the ATM and informed the bank. The official said there was some technical glitch due to which ATM dispensed extra money.
