BJP leader Harsh Vardhan today accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of "duping" the people of Delhi and "saving" former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit by ordering a probe only into the street light purchase and not in the entire CWG scam.Vardhan challenged Kejriwal to order a high-level inquiry in a stipulated time period against Dikshit and her government regarding "the 25,000 crore scam in the CommonWealth Games, instead of ordering an inquiry only on the street lamps to fool the people of the country.""If his (Kejriwal's) intentions are honest about punishing the guilty and Dikshit, why did he not recommend and demand a thorough and complete inquiry into the whole Commonwealth scam, to the LG, the Home Minister and the President of India?" Vardhan said.
