Spent 1880 Crore on Sonia,Modi -RTI Activist Denies

Narendra Modi who normally has figures to back him up seems to have slipped up this time.

He alleges the Government had spent Rs.1880 Crore on Sonia Gandhi’s Foreign jaunts and medical expenses by The Government of India.

He is right in demanding that the Government reply.

He quoted an RTI application filed by one Mr.Ramesh Verma from Hisar.

Mr.Ramesh denied that he received the information from the Government.

The status, according to him is that he is yet to receive a reply though he filed the application in February 2010 and

“I did not get any information following which I moved the Chief Information Commissioner. The CIC directed the Prime Minister’s Office to furnish this information, but my file only moved around places but the information was never furnished. I have now filed another complaint stating that the information has not yet been furnished,” added Verma.

On how he managed to get information that a sum of Rs 85 lakh was spent on her foreign trips, Verma informed that this was based on his contacts. He said that he had got this information from some of his contacts abroad. “However, at no point did I mention the sum of Rs 1,880 crore as mentioned by the Gujarat chief minister,” Verma pointed out.”

He says the news about the the amount 85 lakhs spent on Sonia Gandhi’s trips abroad was from his ‘contact’.

As of now,his statements seem to be speculative and it does not suit the person of Narendra Modi’s stature to make allegations on the basis of an unverified information, if this is the source he is speaking about.

If Modi’s present out bursts prove to be founded on inaccurate information his future statements are easy for the Congress to rebut.

Modi is  a man one respects for his governance, honesty, integrity and Culture.

He need not ape Digvijay Singh

“Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi criticised theUPA government for questioning his government for spending money on festivities and celebrations, saying that central government has itself spent Rs 1,880 crore for UPA chairpersonSonia Gandhi’s foreign trips and treatment abroad over three years.

Modi said the state should not be questioned when the central government has itself spent Rs 1,880 crore for Sonia Gandhi‘s foreign trips.

Modi alleged that the Congress president was getting all facilities like special flight, which were meant only for the prime minister and president of India.
