AAP government wasting money on fake advertisements: Bikram Singh Majithia
Ludhiana: Former minister and senior Akali Dal leader, Bikram Singh Majithia , on Saturday, said that the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government has nothing to show in the name of performance but is wasting money on fake advertisements. Addressing election meetings in favour of party candidate Parupkar Singh Ghumman in Ludhiana West, Majithia said that all major projects in the state, including those in Ludhiana, were implemented by the SAD government led by Parkash Singh Badal. He claimed that during the last three and a half years, the AAP government led by Bhagwant Mann had failed to initiate a single project. He asked people whether they had seen Bhagwant Mann or Arvind Kejriwal inaugurating any project in the state. Lashing out at the CM, he accused him of completely surrendering before Arvind Kejriwal, who is calling the shots in the state. He claimed that the Punjab government was spending Rs 800 crore annually on fake advertisements on the orders of Arvind Kejriwal. According to him, the budget for advertisements during the SAD government was around Rs 30 crore annually, which was increased to Rs 150 crore during the Congress regime, and had now been increased to Rs 800 crore. Majithia said that this had led to Punjab landing in a debt trap of Rs 4 lakh crore. MSID:: 121850993 413 | Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
