Leader of Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa alleged that the AAP-led government in Punjab had misused taxpayers’ money on the party’s senior leadership for election campaigns in many states earlier.

Considering the deteriorated financial condition of Punjab, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday cautioned chief minister Bhagwant Mann that he should refrain from squandering the state’s exchequer on the Aam Aadmi Party’s expansion and campaigns in the election-bound state of Haryana.

Bajwa alleged that the AAP-led government in Punjab had misused taxpayers’ money in crores of rupees on the party’s senior leadership for election campaigns in states like Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and a few other states”, Bajwa added.

As the AAP has decided to contest all 90 seats in Haryana in the upcoming assembly polls, the possibility of the party misusing the state’s exchequer cannot be ruled out, Bajwa said.

“Due to the insincerity, mismanagement, and laxity of the Punjab government, the fiscal health of the state has been in shambles for the past two and a half years. The government has already exhausted its limit to take loans and is left with no funds to pay the salaries and pensions of state employees. The state is seeking additional borrowing limit for the rest of the financial year,” Bajwa said.
