New Delhi: Ahead of the MCD polls, the BJP on Saturday alleged the AAP government had squandered public funds on lunches at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence last year that cost a whopping Rs 13,000 per person, a charge denied by the ruling party.
Demanding the government's resignation, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Vijender Gupta, alleged that the Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC) had organised two lunch parties last year on February 11 and 12 for 50 and 30 persons respectively which cost over Rs 11 lakh.
He said that the files were being leaked selectively to defame the AAP government ahead of the upcoming MCD polls. "I dare them to release the file in which I have clearly made a note refusing to clear payment," he added.
He further said that bill for the lunch on February 11 was Rs 6,23,605 and the cost per plate was Rs 12,472 and price of same plate rose to Rs 16,025 for the lunch organised very next day.
It is beyond understanding why the expenditure per plate rose by Rs 3,553 more than 28.50 per centre overnight, Gupta said.
