PM Modi bears his own medical expenses, no government money is spent on it: RTI
An RTI revealed that PM Modi bears his own medical expenses
• This was revealed in a reply by the PMO to an RTI application filed by Pune-based Prafful Sarda.
• It clearly states that no health expense has been spent on Prime Minister maintained by PMO
Narendra Modi is one of the most followed leaders in the world today. However, with his many national and international visits, his medical care has not cost the exchequer a single rupee since he assumed the Prime Minister’s office in May 2014.
This was revealed in 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).
Members of Parliament (MPs) and Union ministers are provided with numerous amenities, although the Prime Minister of the country is not among them. According to an RTI response, Prime Minister Modi pays all his medical expenses and not a single rupee is spent on it from the government’s purses.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has provided this information on the question asked through RTI. The Prime Minister’s Office Secretary, Binod Bihari Singh, responded to the RTI stating that not even one Rupee of the government budget is used to pay for the PM’s personal medical treatment.
“As per records available with this office, no expenditure has been incurred on the personal medical treatment of the PM, Shri Narendra Modi,” the RTI response said.
PMO clarified: “NO expenditure has been incurred from 2014 till date” in India and abroad.
“PM Modi ji did not only send out a strong message through Fit India movement but he is motivating 135 crore Indians to stay fit by setting an example himself,” activist Prafful Sarda said.
“The money of taxpayers is not being used for any personal work of PMO; this boosts our faith in governance. MPs and MLAs should also follow the same path by bearing their personal medical expenses on own if any,” he said.
Pune-based Right To Information (RTI) activist Praffull Sarda received a reply from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) about the query about the money spent on medical expenses of the PM. In its response, PMO revealed that Prime Minister 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.
