AAP Now Targets BJP Leader Verma Over 'Massive Growth In Income'
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|January 21, 2025
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi's health minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Monday threw a satire at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and New Delhi candidate Parvesh Verma's rise in annual income from 2018 to 2024, as per the affidavits filed with the election commission.
NEW DELHI:
Bharadwaj, at a press conference on Monday, cited the election commission's data and said that annual income declared by Verma has increased by 11,488% from ₹17,00,000 per annum in 2018 to over ₹19 crore in 2024.
"His movable assets like cash, gold-silver, bonds etc have seen growth from ₹3.2 crore to ₹96 crore over this five-year period. What a fantastic growth. Big business houses should seek lessons from him. He should tell this art of this massive income growth to us and poor people of this country," he quipped.
Responding to the claims, Verma said that the AAP is making these allegations out of fear of losing.
