VK Saxena, the lieutenant governor of Delhi, has asked the Aam Aadmi Party to pay an amount of Rs 97 crore that was allegedly spent on “non-conforming advertisements”. Saxena implied the party used government ads to promote the AAP instead.
According to an order issued by Saxena, these payments “were on account of advertisements published in violation” of Supreme Court guidelines on the use of public funds for government ads.
