“All that was alleged was totally false,” Dikshit told reporters after a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP).

The CLP meeting was called to finalise strategies for the monsoon session of Delhi Assembly beginning Monday as BJP is set to corner the government on the CAG report.

“Everybody knows what are the myths about the CAG report and what are the real truths,” Dikshit said, claiming CAG had even clarified that she was not indicted by the auditor.

“The CAG had in the press conference (on August 5) denied that there was any (indictment) of the chief minister,” she said.

Dikshit said all the party MLAs were given a presentation so that they can better defend the government in the assembly session if BJP raises the CAG report. The aim of the presentation was to make them understand the CAG report, sources said.
