Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manoj Tiwari on Saturday alleged that the move to approve facilities available to a Cabinet minister for the vice- chairman of Delhi Dialogue Commission (DDC), Ashish Khetan, exposes the double standards of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government.

"It is his right. But the question here arises is that on one side you claim to have no budget and on the other you are making new appointments and giving them more money than ministers , this once again exposes their double standards," Tiwari told ANI here.

As per reports, the Delhi Cabinet yesterday approved the facilities for Khetan to which a Cabinet-rank minister is entitled, including a government bungalow, car and monthly salary.
