“Kattar Liars! AAP – AUR ADHIK PROPAGANDA But this time propaganda busted by BMW! ((Mann sahab aap aur kejriwal sirf theka khol sakte hai- BMW manufacturing unit aapke bas ki nahi hai- #StopEmbarrasingIndia ))” Poonawalla’s tweet read.

Notably, the German luxury automobile giant on Wednesday refuted the Punjab government’s claim that the company was planning to set up a new plant in the state. “BMW Group India has no plans for setting up additional manufacturing operations in Punjab,” the automobile company said in a statement.
