New Delhi: Launching a scathing attack on Union Finance Minister over his accusation that the Delhi government was using advertisements to manipulate the media, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today asked him to look at the conduct of his own party's governments in this matter.
“I would ask Jaitleyji, what is the need of advertisement of the Haryana Government in Delhi and other states; what is the need of advertisement of the Kerala government in Delhi and other states; what is the need of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh government’s ads in other states,” AAP leader Somnath Bharti said.
“He should look at his own conduct. The problem is that they want to be doing everything within their mean to harm our government,” he added.
The AAP legislator also asked Jaitly to explain why Modi government spent a massive amount of Rs 2,000 crores for celebrating its second anniversary in power.
“Let Jaitleyji explain what was the need of spending Rs.2,000 crores on celebrating two years of the Modi Government and what has he achieved,” Bharti asked.
It should be recalled that the Kejriwal government has been consistently accusing Modi government of creating obstacles in the smooth functioning of Delhi government. They have also accused the central government of deliberately levelling false allegations against Delhi government as well as AAP leaders.
The ruling BJP, however, says that Arvind kejriwal is deliberately playing ‘victim’ card to deflect attention from the failures of his government.
