RTI Exposes Punjab Govt | Surprising Facts in RTI

Information on Bhagwant Mann’s air travel expenses denied due to “security” reasons
While the AAP government has been accused of subverting the RTI act on flimsy grounds, the demand is growing to frame a policy to prevent misuse of the public exchequer
Though the Punjab government has been planning to install jammers for many years, not a single jammer was purchased in the last six years for jamming mobile signals, revealed an RTI reply.
From honouring its senior leaders with gold-plated swords to arranging their accommodation in five-star hotels and decorating roads with flowers, the Punjab government, reeling under a fund crunch, spent ₹14.63 lakh on the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) victory march, Dhanwad Punjab Yatra, in Amritsar, according to information received under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
The march was taken out by the AAP on March 13, three days after it swept the Punjab assembly elections winning 92 of the 117 seats. AAP national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and CM-elect Bhagwant Mann had led the grand road show. According to the RTI reply, the district administration of Amritsar had received a total of 19 bills for the party’s victory march and it paid ₹14,63,129.
Not what the party preaches
Mann was elected leader of the legislature party by the newly-elected MLAs on March 11, but he was yet to take oath as the chief minister at the time when the AAP dipped into the state exchequer to use its funds for the party’s victory march, said RTI activist Manik Goyal, who had filed the application for information on expenditure incurred on the event. Mann took the oath of office and secrecy at the swearing-in ceremony at Khatkar Kalan in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district on March 16.

Chandigarh: The recent Right to Information (RTI) applications seeking details of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s air travel expenses have been denied due to “security” reasons.
The last time the state had responded to the RTI query on this issue was in the month of April this year when it was revealed by the department of civil aviation that it received the bills to the tune of Rs. 44.85 Lakh on the pretext of aircraft hired to ferry Mann to Gujarat between April 1 and April 3.
During these three days, he along with AAP national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal held a road show in Ahmedabad and also participated in the party's public meetings.
RTI reply, filed by Bathinda-based Harmilap Singh Grewal, further revealed that Mann too had travelled to neighbouring Himachal Pradesh on April 6, where, as per media reports, he held a road show along with Kejriwal in Mandi.
“For that visit, he used a Punjab government-owned helicopter. But the expenses incurred on the individual visit could not be ascertained,” the department added.
In a separate RTI filed by Bathinda-based resident Sanjeev Goyal, Punjab spends close to 8 Lakh per month only on the maintenance of the helicopter it purchased for Rs 38 crore during SAD-BJP rule in 2016.
