Chandigarth, October 19
Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa has criticised the state government for planning to hire a Dassault Falcon 2000, a fixed wing aircraft, for a period of one year.
Bajwa said the cash-strapped state was already grappling with revenue generation and the rising debt trap and “here is an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, led by Bhagwant Mann, thinking of hiring a fixed wing aircraft”.
“What was the immediate need or requirement to hire a fixed wing aircraft when Punjab already has a Bell helicopter,” said Bajwa.
