As per a reply to an RTI inquiry, filed by advocate Aman Panwar of the Congress party, India’s common man party, the Over the last 91 days, AAP party that forms the Delhi government, has spent Rs. 14.45 crore on print media advertising, including three Malayali and one Kannada newspaper, which is popular in Kerala and Karnataka.
When enquired about the same, the government replied that all these advertisements were aimed at spreading awareness about public policies.
AAP has even admitted that it spent around Rs. 5 crore for publicising the two rounds of the odd-even scheme, which were implemented for 15 days, once in January and later in April.
The Congress party, to which Aman Panwar belongs, has itself been criticised for spending Rs. 23 crore in 2010 during the Commonwealth Games, when Sheila Dikshit was in power.

Congress has also filed a court case, accusing AAP of spending a major chunk of the advertising money only because it completed a year in power. The petition also said that a large number of these advertisements were published across India, which makes no sense since it’s a city government.
