AAP Govt indulging in fiscal indiscipline, gross misuse to RDF in Punjab: Chugh

STATE TIMES NEWS

CHANDIGARH: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Tuesday strongly condemned the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab for “deliberately violating the provisions of Rural Development Fund” provided by the Centre.
Chugh said the AAP government has been misusing funds allotted to it under the RDF. The funds given to the state earlier were misdirected to other heads which was not in consonance with the spirit of RDF, he added.
Taking exception to reports that Punjab’s AAP government is all set to move the Supreme Court against the Government of India for its failure to release Rural Development Fund, the BJP leader said the RDF was meant for rural development and growth. “But the AAP government had been directing the funds for other ends which had political motives. The state has no local standi to move the apex court after indulging in gross fiscal indiscipline, “he added.
