Punjab Government Repaints State Buses in Yellow and Blue Amid Opposition Criticism

The Punjab government is repainting around 250 state-owned PRTC and Punjab Roadways buses in yellow and blue, colours associated with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Opposition parties Congress and SAD criticize this move as misuse of public funds for political promotion, citing previous similar actions like painting government schools and hospitals. The government and some officials defend the repainting, noting it is not a new practice and was done during earlier regimes. Concerns about financial priorities and employee regularisation were also raised.
