BJP complains to LG against Delhi government

New Delhi, July 2: A BJP delegation on Thursday called on Delhi Lt. Governor jeeb Jung to complain against the city government’s introduction of the VAT Amendment Bill, increased expenditure on advertisements and publicity, and denial of information to RTI activists. The Bharatiya Jata Party delegation, led by the party’s Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay, submitted memorandum to Jung and urged him to look into the complaints. “The Delhi government claims to have a surplus budget. Then what is the logic of bringing a proposal to raise VAT (value-added tax)? It raises suspicion,” Upadhyay said. The BJP accused the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government of using public funds to glorify Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.(IANS)
