CHANDIGARH: Accusing the previous governments in Punjab of saddling the state with a crippling debt of Rs 3 lakh crore, Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday warned that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government would probe where the money went. “Where have these funds been used? We will investigate and make a recovery, because it is public money,” said a tweet by the party’s state handle (@AAPPunjab) quoting the chief minister.
While welcoming the CM’s decision, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) said the inquiry should not be used by AAP to divert attention from fulfilling the promises it had made to the people of the state.
