Swarnim Wagle has strongly denied allegations that he leaked information related to electric vehicle (EV) policies and challenged critics to provide evidence supporting their claims.
Speaking at a meeting of the Public Accounts Committee, the Finance Minister described the accusations as completely baseless and politically motivated.
Dr. Wagle stated that he was deeply saddened by what he called an organized effort by certain individuals to tarnish the reputation he has built through a career focused on integrity and ethical conduct. He argued that the allegations lacked factual basis and were intended to undermine public trust in his work.
Taking a firm stance, the minister declared that if anyone could prove he had engaged in dishonest conduct for even a small amount of money—let alone billions of rupees—he would immediately resign from his position as Finance Minister, leave politics altogether, and withdraw from public life.
The controversy relates to claims that information regarding government policies on electric vehicles may have been disclosed before official announcements. However, Dr. Wagle maintained that no such misconduct occurred and urged critics to present concrete evidence rather than relying on speculation or unsubstantiated allegations.
The statement comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding the government's fiscal policies and taxation framework for electric vehicles, an issue that has attracted significant attention from importers, businesses, consumers, and policymakers. The Finance Minister reiterated his commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical governance while defending the integrity of the policy-making process.
