The record Rs 92.35 crore spent on the upkeep of Union ministers’ official residences last financial year has drawn criticism from the Congress, CJP, and AAP, with the parties questioning the Centre’s spending priorities amid concerns over inflation, unemployment and the need for more government schools.
