Above is the snapshot of full 2 full pages advertisement issued today by AAP party led government in the state of Delhi with public tax payers’ money. Before AAP had come to power, the party used to point fingers at other parties for wasting public money to promote their own image. But it is a huge disappointment that the party itself started doing all the things it used to accuse other parties of.
It is clear that since elections are nearby for Delhi assembly and hence AAP has decided to waste tax payers’ money in such ads. And they don’t stop with newspapers. If you go to any Delhi Metro boggy, everywhere you would find similar ads by the state government with picture of its leader Kejriwal. The party wanted to develop Kejriwal as a “cult leader” and such ads serve the propaganda. If there has been a great achievement, one could still accept ads. But often the achievements are silly in proportion and scale, like installing some “free public wi-fi” stations (public wi-fi are security threat and not recommended) or purchase of some public buses (which is a regular activity everywhere else and no other state advertises it).
We all need to criticize AAP government for wasting public money in such silly cult-making propaganda activities.
