SAD chief Sukhbir Badal today flayed the AAP government for spending Rs 700 crore allegedly on fake publicity, while many farmers were suffering due to crop damage.

Sukhbir said, “CM Bhagwant Mann has allocated an unprecedented 42 vehicles for his own cavalcade and enforces a virtual curfew at every place he visits. All promises made to the people have been forgotten with the government functioning at the whims and fancies of AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal.”

He alleged the CM’s own credibility had taken a huge hit when he was caught lying while claiming that BMW would establish a plant in Punjab as well as when he was “deplaned” in Frankfurt.

Claiming that Rs 700 crore had been earmarked for advertising the achievements of AAP, he said public funds were being used to further the party agenda in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. — OC
