Former Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken on Monday hit out at senior party leader Milind Deora, who had tweeted saying that the AAP government had doubled its revenues to ₹60,000 crore and maintained a revenue surplus over the last 5 years.
Mr. Maken alleged that Mr. Deora was stating half-baked facts and that he may leave the party if he wishes so.
“Sharing a lesser known & welcome fact the @ArvindKejriwal-led Delhi Government doubled its revenues to Rs 60,000 crore & maintained a revenue surplus over the last 5 years. Food for thought: Delhi is now one of India’s most fiscally prudent governments [sic],” Mr. Deora had tweeted.
‘Leave Congress’
Mr. Maken in a blunt reply said: “Brother, you want to leave @INCIndia-Please do-Then propagate half baked facts! [sic]”
Mr. Maken said: “However, let me share even lesser know facts-1997-98- BE(Revenue) 4,073cr, 2013-14-BE (Revenue) 37,459cr. During Congress Govt Grew at 14.87% CAGR, 2015-16 BE 41,129 and 2019 -20 BE 60,000 AAP Gov 9.90% CAGR [sic].”
To this, Mr. Deora said: “Would never undermine Sheila Dikshit’s stellar performance as Delhi CM. That’s your specialty. “Instead of advocating an alliance with AAP, if only you had highlighted Sheila jis achievements, @INCIndia wouldve been in power today [sic].”
Sheila Dikshit served as Delhi’s Chief Minister for 15 years from 1998 to 2013. She died in July last year at the age of 81.
