Accused of spending 24 crores on advertisement in a month
In June 2022, the opposition claimed that the AAP government spent Rs 24 crore on advertisements in a month. RTI information has been cited for this. Opposition parties said that the AAP, which came to power by claiming to fill the state coffers, is itself engaged in emptying it.

In this case, it was told in the report of the inquiry committee of the High Court that the party has used government advertisements for itself. He had targeted the opposition on government money through several media. According to media reports, from September 2016 till now all the advertisements of the Delhi government will be examined by the expert committee.

The committee constituted by the High Court submitted its report in 2016. It was found that AAP used government advertisements for itself.

Congress MLA asked – this is how Punjab’s treasury will be filled
Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira tweeted a copy of the RTI information in June. He said that only in the month of April, 24 crores were spent on publicity. Tell Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann that in this way they had promised to fill the coffers of Punjab.

Punjab Congress Chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warding, Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira and BJP leader Manjinder Sirsa have raised questions on CM Bhagwant Mann regarding this. Khaira said that the government will save only 8 crores in a year from One MLA, One Pension and here it has spent so much in one month. Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann are misusing public money for self promotion.

This tweet is from Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira. He did this tweet in June 2022.

BJP’s allegation- 9 thousand crore loan in 3 months and 24 crore expenditure on publicity
BJP leader Manjinder Sirsa had said in June that the Aam Aadmi Party government had taken a loan of 9 thousand crores in the last 3 months. In the month of April alone, the government spent 24.40 crores on publicity and advertisements.

Till now no woman of Punjab has been given Rs 1,000 per month. No subsidy was given on electricity and water. Sirsa said that CM Bhagwant Mann should answer that when no work has been done then what is the point of publicity? This is not revolution, it is Kejriwal’s Delhi model.
