In a statement on Sunday, the Congress demanded that money from public funds spent by the AAP government “for the promotion” of Sisodia be recovered from the ruling party in the national capital.

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Chaudhary Anil Kumar said it was “shocking” that the AAP government was “misusing taxpayers’ money to start a propaganda campaign through FM radio” in support of Sisodia whose CBI custody was extended till Monday over the weekend.

“Parents of government school children and the school children themselves were forced to stand under the sun to write letters in favour of Sisodia, which is illegal and a gross misuse of taxpayers’ money,” Kumar alleged.

“The reputation of Sisodia among school children is so bad that they were being forced to glorify a minister who was corrupt to the core and his involvement in the liquor scam has been established beyond any doubt,” he added.
