    AAP's publicity costs the aam aadmi Rs.60 crores
    Credits:
  • AAP's "aam-aadmi" advertisements have burnt a hole of Rs.60 crore in the exchequer's pockets in the past 11 months.

    This comprises the funds spent on campaigns across "print, television, radio and outdoor publicity".

    The Delhi Information and Publicity Directorate had sanctioned Rs.25 crores from its budget of Rs.526 crores.

    However, the campaigns that are currently running (or recently concluded) will cost another Rs.35 crores.

    CM's image tainted over the residence controversy
  • In February 2014, documents revealed that Kejriwal's secretary Rajendra Kumar had sought two 5-bedroom houses on Bhagwan Das Road.

    This came in the wake of the CM denying having asked for the houses allotted to him.

    However, these documents highlighted that he had "indeed sought the accommodation, down to specific flat numbers."

    Mounting pressure and criticism made the CM not take up those houses.
