• Attacking the government, Congress leader Ajay Maken said, “On one hand we don’t have money to pay to safai karamcharis for salary, on one hand we don’t have money even to pay for pension but on the other they are spending huge amounts(for advertisments) for self publicity.”
  
  
• The Delhi government spent around Rs 5 crore publicising the two rounds of the odd-even scheme, implemented for 15 days each in January and April respectively, the Lok Sabha was told recently.
