New Delhi: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday lashed out at Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, labelling her as a “temporary CM”, questioning the crowdfunding campaign while alleging that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was spending at least four crore rupees on volunteers in each assembly constituency. He cited Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit while alleging the same.
He questioned the need for crowdfunding Rs 40 lakh, pointing towards the alleged money being spent on volunteers. Taking a dig at AAP, the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader asked, “The money they earned in the liquor scam, have you spent it all in the Goa elections?”
“Atishi, the temporary CM says she wants crowdfunding of Rs 40 lakh to contest the elections. How many volunteers do they have in each constituency and how much is each volunteer being paid every day? According to Sandeep Dikshit (Congress leader), they are spending four to five crore rupees on volunteers in each constituency. If they have that much money, why do they need crowdfunding?” Puri remarked.
He further accused the Delhi government of spending nearly Rs 1.5 crore on the cars of Arvind Kejriwal and nearly Rs 45 lakh on the cars of Manish Sisodia.
“The Delhi government spends nearly Rs 1.5 crore on the cars of Arvind Kejriwal and nearly Rs 45 lakhs on the cars of Manish Sisodia. What kind of Aam Aadmi are these people?” Puri said.
Meanwhile, Congress candidate from the New Delhi assembly constituency, Sandeep Dikshit, on Monday took a dig at Atishi for her ‘crowdfunding campaign’ to contest the election, saying that the ruling AAP is spending much more than the expenditure limit.
He alleged that AAP is spending Rs 500 to 700 on each volunteer. He stated that the party had appointed around 11 to 12 volunteers in each booth.
