L-G Saxena hiring company for social media mgmt: Min

In a press briefing on Tuesday at the Delhi Secretariat, Delhi's Cabinet minister Saurabh Bharadwaj raised serious concerns over the alleged misuse of public funds by the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) of Delhi.

Bharadwaj claimed that the L-G’s office plans to spend approximately Rs 1.5 crore annually on social media promotion to enhance the L-G’s public image, a move Bhardwaj criticised as unconstitutional and inappropriate.

Bharadwaj revealed that the information came to light through a tender posted on the L-G’s office website. According to Bharadwaj, the tender invites proposals from companies specialising in social media management. The successful bidder will be responsible for managing the L-G’s social media presence across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
