Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) general secretary Parambans Singh Romana on tuesday attacked the Aam Aadmi
Party government. He asked punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann to explain why his government hired a
luxury plane worth Rs 400 crore at the cost of Rs 10 lakh per hour to bring delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal
from Delhi. He demanded that the entire expenditure incurred by the state government in hiring aircraft for
Kejriwal's visit to punjab as well as for the party's election campaigns in other states should be recovered from
the party.
Romana said that the punjab government has not only provided Rs 400 crore Dassault Falcon 2000 LX aircraft
worth Rs 10 lakh each to facilitate Kejriwal's journey from delhi to bathinda on december 17 and take him to
Maur, the aam aadmi party rally venue. Not only was it rented on an hourly rate, the chief minister himself
also traveled from chandigarh to bathinda in a government helicopter. He said it was condemnable that
Kejriwal, who claimed to represent the common man, could not even travel 30 km by road and kept waiting for
Mann to complete the journey by helicopter.
Romana praised social worker Goyal
Praising social activist Manik Goyal for exposing the looting of the government treasury on behalf of AAP,
Romana said he has revealed that by tracing the flight paths of both Kejriwal's planes, the chief minister enjoys
the privilege of hiring a plane. How they are misusing it. Saying that such extravagances are bankrupting punjab,
Romana said the AAP government alone has spent more than Rs 1,000 crore on advertisements in a year, but it
has spent crores of rupees only on Kejriwal's flight expenses , which should have been borne by either the Delhi
Government or the Aam Aadmi Party.
