The Congress leader also alleged that the helicopter and aircraft were used by the party to campaign in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and other states.
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday sought details of expenditure on the use of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft by the Bhagwant Mann government, accusing it of spending public money on "luxury sorties" for AAP campaigns in other states.
Mr Sidhu wrote to the secretary of the Punjab Civil Aviation Department, seeking the information under the Right to Information Act. The Congress leader said the Aam Aadmi Party government, in the past one-and-a-half years, used the aircraft for election campaigning in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and other states.
"It has come to notice that the Punjab government on various occasions has used the official state chopper and also hired fixed-wing aircraft for campaigns and tours regarding party affairs, I need information on various accounts under RTI," he wrote.
