Leader of Opposition Charanjit Singh Channi on Friday alleged that the Punjab State Transport Department has spent more than Rs 97 crore on government vehicles provided to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and the entire Cabinet in the 2007-2015 period.
The Congress leader said the Badals should come on a public platform for an open debate on the financial crisis and implementation of social security schemes in the state in the last 10 years.
“Spending more than Rs 97 crore on vehicles provided to the Badals and other Ministers shows the insensitiveness of these leaders towards the State,” he said quoting a Right to Information (RTI) reply.
Mr. Channi added that according to the reply, the expenditure of the Transport Department in this regard has now crossed Rs 100 crore.-PTI
