\u201cThis shows that AAP is nothing but Arvind Advertisement Party\u201d, she said adding that the Delhi government has yet not given the amount spent on TV, radio ads and publicity hoardings which was sought under the Right to Information act.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs per our calculation, in just 3 months, Kejriwal has spent approximately Rs 100 crores on all sorts of ads\u201d, she said alleging that he has been \u201cwasting\u201d huge sums of taxpayer\u2019s money on \u201cself glorification and misleading advertisements.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Oza alleged it was a \u201cblatant misuse\u201d of Delhi taxpayers\u2019 money to put up ads in Kerala, Bangalore, Chennai and other cities.<\/p>\n
She said the irony is that Kejriwal doesn\u2019t have money to pay the salary of poor sanitation workers, old age and widow pensions and even the pension of disabled people have been delayed for months.<\/p>\n
Besides, she claimed that such huge advertisement contracts will also have an effect on the neutrality of media houses. \u201cBy virtue of such enormous funding by government, the media is under pressure to not talk about the opposition and even overlook public issues on which the government is on a sticky wicket. It\u2019s white collar corruption\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
Oza said that the Modi government is no different as it has spent Rs 27 lakh\/per day on advertisements. She claimed that the UPA in its last 5 years in power had spent only Rs 3.8 lakh\/per day.<\/p>\n
She took a dig at finance minister Arun Jaitley\u2019s suggestion apparently hitting at AAP that excessive advertisement is acquiring the proportion of political bribing. \u201cWe would like to tell Jaitley – the biggest \u201cpolitical bribe\u201d in the history of political India\u201d is the promise of \u201cacche din\u201d, she remarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
