Babu-Modi Meeting Cost A Mere Rs 34,000?

Babu-Modi Meeting Cost A Mere Rs 34,000?

A small function with about 100 guests can cost several lakhs these days. And for an event that would be attended by lakhs of people, the cost is bound to be much more. If we make a rough estimate, it could cost at least Rs 1 crore.

But when the politicians organize massive rallies and public meetings, surprisingly, the cost is always very less.

Incidentally, according to figures given out by the Andhra Pradesh government, the cost of organizing massive political shows hasn’t been more than a few thousand rupees. Or at least, that is what they claim.

Well-known industrialist and MP Jaydev Galla has revealed that a sum of Rs 34,350 was spent for organizing the massive public meeting held in Guntur which was attended by BJP top leader Narendra Modi and Chandra Babu Naidu prior to the polls. The same was mentioned in an affidavit released here.

On the other hand, ex MP Ponnam Prabhakar revealed that a Sonia’s meeting held on a similar scale cost a little more than the Babu-Modi meeting. He disclosed that a sum of Rs 50,000 was spent for the Sonia Gandhi meet held in Karimnagar.

However, TRS leader KCR is at a relatively much higher level regarding the cost incurred during the meetings held prior to the polls. Apparently, a sum of Rs 1.17 lakh was spent for the KCR meeting held in Rangareddy district according to Chevella industrialist and MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy.

Well, what can one say? After seeing these made up figures, one cannot believe the extent to which politicians can go to mislead people.
