PM Modi bears his own medical expenses, no government money is spent on it: RTI

New Delhi, Jan 10: In a significant development, a new revelation regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come to light. According to Right To Information (RTI), a query was asked about the money spent on medical expenses of the PM.

 

 

 

 

This came after a reply by the Prime Minister's Office to an RTI application filed by a Pune-based RTI activist Prafful Sarda. The reply states that there is no health expense spent on the Prime Minister maintained by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

 

This means PM Modi pays for the medical costs himself, and the government does not spend a single rupee on his medical care. PM’s office added that no rupee had been spent on his medical care since he assumed office in May 2014.

 

 

In response to the RTI, PMO Secretary Binod Bihari Singh noted, "As per records available with this office, no expenditure has been incurred on the personal medical treatment of the PM, Shri Narendra Modi." Furthermore, it clarified, "NO expenditure has been incurred from 2014 till date” in India and abroad.

 

Notably, the Members of Parliament (MPs) and Union ministers are provided with numerous amenities, although the Prime Minister of the country is not among them.
