NEW DELHI: The main opposition Congress party and the ruling BJP on Thursday clashed over the Centre’s expenditure on advertising and publicity. While the Congress alleged that the central government was indulging in “misappropriation” of funds, the BJP retorted by stating that it is a usual practice in the government of India.
Highlighting the matter of budget for advertising and publicity, Congress MP and general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh, in a tweet, said Parliament votes budgets for all departments and ministries of the government of India. Each programme and scheme has a distinct budget head.
