Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its advertisement bill, the Congress has decided to rename it the "Arvind Advertisement Party". It cited data gleaned from a Right to Information (RTI) reply that revealed the Delhi government spent Rs 14.5 crore on newspaper advertisements in the last three months alone.
Congress spokesperson Shobha Oza said the Delhi government had not yet declared the amount spent on television, radio spots and publicity hoardings sought under the RTI application.
While it did not have money to pay the salary of sanitation workers, old-age pension and so on, "as per our calculation, in just three months, Kejriwal has spent approximately Rs 100 crore on all sorts of ads", she alleged.
