NEW DELHI: An Information and Broadcasting ministry-appointed Committee on Friday indicted the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal 's government for misusing exchequer funds on advertisements that violated Supreme Court guidelines.The three-member Committee - comprised of former Chief Election BB Tandon, ad-man Piyush Pandey, and journalist Rajat Sharma - also said Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party should now pay back the exchequer. They also said it was the Delhi government which should assess how much money had been spent on the ads.According to the Committee, the Delhi government flouted Supreme Court guidelines "in six out of the nine areas" mentioned in a complaint submitted by Congress leader Ajay Maken . These infractions included "outstation advertisements, false/misleading advertisements, advertisements for self- glorification and to target political opponents, advertisements against media, advertisements mentioning the party in power by name and also advertisements issued on incidents occurring in other states."Last year, the Kejriwal government was strongly criticized for earmarking a whopping Rs 526.74 in its annual budget - a total of Rs 41,129 - for information and publicity. Deputy CM Manish Sisodia defended the decision, saying the AAP government needed to "show the real picture" to counter the media's largely negative portrayal of it.According to sources, the sum earmarked for publicity was a mere Rs 23.7 crore in 2014-15, Rs 25 crore in 2013-14 and Rs 24.9 crore in 2012-13."The way they (AAP) have spent advertisement budget of 526 crore rupees on self (themselves), Delhi's public surely wants to ask that in (with) this 526 crore, they could have installed 5 lakh cameras, women security could have been bettered, 200 new schools and 50 new colleges could have been opened for students' brighter future. But advertisement will not make their future as you (they) are just advertising just for yourselves (themselves)," ANI had quoted BJP's Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay as saying.Inputs from PTI and ANI
