Chandigarh, June 2

BJP national secretary Tarun Chugh has accused Punjab Congress president Partap Singh Bajwa and People’s Party of Punjab chief Manpreet Singh Badal of misleading the people on the issue of central aid to the state.

Chugh said it was “grossly wrong” to say that the NDA government was lagging in doling out aid to Punjab as compared to the previous UPA regime. “The Narendra Modi government has, in its first year in power, accorded Rs3,570 crore (75 per cent) more to Punjab than that given by the previous government last year. Punjab got Rs4,703 crore in 2014-15 while the NDA government gave Rs8,273 crore,” said Chugh.

Chugh said at Rs5.24 lakh crore, the NDA government had almost doubled the grants to states.
