In a statement released here on Thursday, Sirsa said that Kejriwal always resorts to lies for seeking votes and he did the same in Punjab during the recently held elections.
He said that Kejriwal promised free power, ₹1,000 per month to women and others, and when he was asked how he is going to manage the finances, he replied that the government will save money from sand mining, excise policy and by eradicating corruption.
Attacking the AAP government in Punjab, Sirsa said in just a week, the new CM approached the PM, seeking ₹1 lakh crore to dole out freebies promised by his mentor Kejriwal.
The BJP leader went on to say that Mann has said that the state was under ₹3 lakh crore debt. He said this is a fact which in known to everyone and was known to Kejriwal as well when he had made the announcements regarding the sops.
He asked when they were already aware of the financial crisis, why did they make such announcements?
