New Delhi, July 16 -- The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday alleged that the BJP government in Delhi was backtracking on its pre-election public welfare promises and instead approving "lavish" perks for its own MLAs and ministers.
Recently, the BJP-led Delhi government revised perks for top officials and ministers, entitling them to purchase luxury mobile phones worth over Rs.1 lakh using public funds.
Now, AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj has alleged that the government has cleared a proposal to give every BJP MLA Rs.1 lakh per month to hire four data entry operators each.
Bharadwaj accused the BJP of betraying its Rs.2,500 monthly allowance promise to women and slammed the L-G for blocking hospital data operator jobs, while approving four hires per MLA at public expense, calling it deeply unfair and self-serving governance.
